I have started to write about my illness and I feel as though getting my thoughts down in writing has helped me a lot when coming to terms with my feelings and what I'm feeling.
This is my most recent post amybadillotaylor.wordpress....
I think understanding your own feelings and expressing them in some way, whatever that may be, is a great way to unlocking the underlying reasons for the illness and its helping me find ways in which I am able to help myself.
Find something every day that you love to do, talk to yourself about what you are feeling and why you are feeling that way and really start paying attention to you, and thats when you will realise and understand a bit more about how you are going to come out of this hole.
