Spent 4 years pretending it's all OK

Great that you get that as a 'freebie'! (Well okay, already paid, so thanks to your past self ).

I am in awe of three files gone. And lovely to find the post-it notes again. Have you thought of creating a folder somewhere of nice things like that, which you can look back to when you need affirmation? I have one in my emails: just nice things people have said which warm me from  the heart outwards.  

That's a lovely idea Cherry:)
Funny how I kept files of good stuff for both kids - never for me, other than educational certificates!

Quick update on randome bits...

1. I'm treating myself to a hair cut today as have a wedding this coming weekend, need to pick up some cards for birthdays as well as the wedding. 
2. My sales shopping was delivered and 3/5 items of the clothes fitted, the other two need returning. Also ordered some shoes in different sizes and styles from the F!tFl0p sale, again 3/5 fit which is good. The F!tFl0p footwear allows me to be on my feet all day at work, so I don't mind paying the extra, they also last years. 
3. I'll need to do about an hour's work today to deal with some emails that have come in, then tomorrow i will go in again for 2-3 hours. 
4. I've done 3 loads of washing today - all out drying
5. Sorted out this weeks mail - looked at everything and binned everything not needed instead of adding to my pile. 

So I feel I'm making a bit of progress, but still quite anxious/stressed, and I can't shake that off. 

NOA xx

Hair cut is always good for morale.

The anxiety and stress can be hard to track down and it could be a combination of things, but it could be simple once you've pinned it down. I found extra coffee gave me a feeling of doom after a couple of days - yet I used to be able to drink it late in the evening and felt okay. Equally, it could be things on your mind. Be gentle on yourself. x
