Positive steps.....

I am off work tomorrow so I am going to the docs, maybe ask for a change of meds and also discuss the violent mood swings I've been having over the last few months. I'm sure they aren't just natural highs and lows. Am also going to book myself in for accupuncture to quit smoking.

Found a letter this morning that must have come through Saturday, inviting me to a psyche assessment for councelling on Wed 19th, so am taking the letter to work to book the day off.

Finally, I am going to look into local AA groups tomorrow to try to stop my drinking. Once again this morning I have had a coffee then started on beer.... this has to stop!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
