Groundbreaking revelation!

Had a difficult week culminating in a meeting today with colleagues concerned about the change in me. I have realised after lots of mulling over and not sleeping that the 'old' me is gone. This is it. In the present who i am and i and everyone else will need to get to know me and either like or dislike me and that is just the way it is. I know this is old news to most of you but sharing as its taken me 3 years to get here and it's only just hit home so feels like a real step forward for me, sadly few people in my past will say that as they focus on the change not what is in front of them! Hey ho

Hi, this is something that many will recognise and relate to. This is why I refer to me as mark l, and mark ll. There are probably mark ll a/b/c/d/ etc, but life is about evolving, adapting, play to the current strength. People who have not members of our club will probably not be able to really understand, but in the position you are in, you have the power to give first hand insight. It's good to talk.

Hard to deal with sometimes though, isn't it? I think that acceptance thing is quite healing in its way, and is a bit of a revelation, even if it does take a while to kick in. I guess it's all a work in progress !👍

I find the hardest thing is people saying that I have fully recovered and you wouldn't know that I had ever been ill. But they are talking about seeing me for half an hour or so. I find it hard to accept the new me that I feel inside me. I am not the same in lots of ways and some of those ways I don't really like. I would really like to wake up in the morning and feel great and full of energy. Some of this is down to ageing I know and I am sorry for my whingeing. Must be the cold weather today!
