Recently got back in contact with the practise I had therapy at to start up again. I just think that there are a lot of unresolved issues with my past trauma and thought this would be the best decision for me going forward. The last time I went to therapy I got to some of the last sessions of...

For as long as I can remember after my trauma I’ve done things to put myself in a lot of danger. Usually fuelled by alcohol, I’ve acted in ways that scream “I don’t care what happens to me.” and mostly with men. I’ve taken drugs off a man I just met in a club, I’ve wandered the streets drunk in...

I can’t help but have this daunting feeling when I think about the New Year. I’ve been feeling this anxious for a while, and now just a day away it feels even more inevitable. It’s been kind of hard to rationalise but I think I know where it comes from. I think it’s just being afraid of letting...
