Lol I feel it sometimes! Xxx

Hi Holly, I haven't posted because of the family visiting but am ok. Following a very mixed assessment with the CAMHs team I'm reflecting a lot right now on the help I have received over the years, what's been helpful and what hasn't, also the way I practice myself as a therapist and what I can best do to help myself move forward in life as even with support I know the changes have to come from me. I'm feeling fairly positive right now (at 5am) and am thinking about the moves I need to make to get back into clinical practice. Otherwise just tired from having been awake for much of the night! I'm glad you are ok, January is a difficult month for most people what with the build up to Christmas and it's reality, then the dull, wet and boring weather and the lull before Spring sets in. It's really good to hear from familiar people, I'm glad you are all still there and surviving.

Hi Sue great to hear from you. You sound very calm and optimistic

About the future. That feeling is a lovely feeling. Sometimes the

Time is just right for us to make overdue changes.

It's a bit of a horrible time of year, stormy and wet and awful here

In Dublin. I am aware of what changes I need to make in my

Life, going out more, doing more things I like, but I am finding

It very hard to make the changes. It's like I'm stuck. Anyway

Sue sorry for rambling on about myself

Hi Hannah, No problem, it's good to hear back from you. I've been stuck for a long time but now feel if I don't make changes nothing will ever happen, so I've decided to lose 30k (5 stone) this year. Already I'm slowly losing and feeling much lighter in mood just because I am doing something about my weight. Then the next thing will be getting out and about more and exercising a bit, also making moves to try again to move towards clinical practice, and getting back into my art. If I can do all of that this year then I feel that I will have my life back to where it was the one time when I felt good about life! What a lot to make happen!!

It has taken me some years, but now feels the right time to make sure I do what I want to improve my life, so I will. I hope when the time is right for you, that you will make a similar decision and then things will be easier. I remember it was like that with giving up smoking, four attempts, but the final time was easy and I never looked back. Take care and thanks again for replying, Suex

Ow that sounds horrible Hannah, hope you're nice and cozy inside your cosy house ;)

It's not too bad here, and I'm nice and cozy in my soft jammmies and fluffy pink socks,

thanks to a very good friend!

Love, Holly Xxx

I know, it was cold in the house but luckily I felt ok and then went back to bed with a hottie so got warmer again. Not an early night as we've just got back from the long drive after a concert in Manchester (where I met someone I haven't seen for years which was nice) then shopping at Tesco, so we've JUST got in and I still have to unpack, but that's ok, I'm quite an energetic person when not depressed. Tomorrow I'm off to Manchester again and will bring back my son and wife for a few days, then Manchester again on Saturday for another concert with them and that's it, life will return to fairly normal, except I will keep my mood and keep losing weight. I've finally found some willpower. Take care and love to you too.Suexxx

Hi Sue, you sound great! Most positive I've heard you in ages, it's nice to see!

I always think when you're in good spirits and feel good things tend to go well

and work out, more than when you lock yourself in the house trapped in a black hole

of depression, so I hope things'll start to fall in to place for you, you deserve it

so much!!

Lotsa love,

I almost always find some balance in living fully the present moment by trying to break the mental movies related to past events and relations. Reality is now, not the yesterdays or the morrows. I focus on what i am doing or even thinking Now!

Holly101 in reply to Yalak

That's the way to do it, living in the moment ;) No point being stuck in the past as you can't change it anyway, and the future we can't predict and will come anyway!

So good on ye, enjoy the good moments while you're experiencing them, and try to deal with the bad as best you can and remember they'll pass..

Love, Holly Xxx
