Thanks you Jenny for these wise words. It helps having an objective and professional person reaffirm what does come naturally in very dark times, but needs to be front and centre of our minds before it gets to that very scary point. A diary and notes by the bedside are definitely something I’m going to do on a more regular basis.
You are so welcome! Feeling scared is, indeed, as natural as it gets— especially on the hard days. I’d love to hear how the diary and notes work for you! I’m so glad you are being gentle with yourself.
Thanks so much Jenny for taking the time! It's definitely a good strategy. I've been following up with a therapist for three months now and one of the tools she gave me was to write a letter to myself when I feel good to be my companion in the dark days. Sometimes I read it and it actually makes me cry out of joy. Thank you :)
I’m so glad you have a letter to yourself for the dark days. It’s good to know that your brave, resilient, compassionate self is there waiting for you, anytime you need.
I also know how much those tears of joy mean right now. Thank you for sharing with me. :)
