A rainy sunday

You know it's one of them days when you sit and type and delete several times over.

If I had a £1 for every time that someone said to me there are always people worse off than me, I would be a millionaire by now. I know it's true, but sometimes you need a day to just feel rubbish & have a good cry.

Days like today when the pain is really bad, I try and find things to occupy my mind with, doing some house work, listening to some music, snuggling up under the duvet with my favourite cheesy movie or talking to the iih crew.

The friends you make become friends for life. The turning point for me, knowing I wasn't alone, knowing that I had someone to turn too, was going to the annual iih agm. I finally got to meet a lot of the amazing people I had got talking too on the support group. That weekend was the best weekend I had had in such a long time. Definitely something that will become an annual thing for me :-). I came back with a renewed sense of life & that I wasn't alone & having made friends for life.

Friends & family are essential, without my friends & family, I wouldn't have been able to dig myself out of the depression by myself. There will always be days where you just want to hide away from everyone. I have plenty of them, but if you let iih become your life, it will get the better of you & you need to control it.

I've just stuck my onesie on & gonna curl up with a hot choccy, shut out the horrible weather...tomorrow is a new day as they say :-) xx
