Watty's Awakening

Humdinger1

Standing by for any updates you'd like to share @Watty1.  I've also been in the position of sorting out trauma largely caused by others.  I don’t  get the impression that you're thinking this, but once I'd got over the feeling that it was so unfair that this was all my responsibility to sort - time, money, emotional impact - it ended up being the best investment I could have made in my own future happiness. I was being bogged down in every way by baggage.  Keep going, you're fab.   Love Humdinger xx

@Humdinger1 makes a lovely point.  I once read a poster for centre point and the story on the poster of a young girl was familiar to me and I thought "there by the grace of god go I" and then I was grateful for the brain I had been given that meant I could leave home at 18 and go to university.

From the day I read that poster I have never thought it was 'unfair' but been grateful for the intelligence.    The PPH trauma was indeed unfair but the flip side is I should have known better. My mum did try to tell me!
And again, it was unfair, but, sheer hard work - and again - the brains to be able to do something - means I am getting myself on track again.

In the New Year I can start to peel back another layer of the onion but today I needed a rest from going to the mental health practitioner, sorting out meds and referring self for the counselling team.   I have spent much of the day under a duvet on the sofa binge watching Suits on netflix and then had a lovely walk with WattyDog.

And I hope WattyDog is looking after you this evening.

I'll be cheering you on in the New Year as you peel back those onion layers.  Onwards & upwards with support from your MSE buddies plus those around you in real life.
