Hi Sarah -
What happened to you WASN'T your fault.

your mother knew how much you loved her and she loved you more than you will ever know. When you have a child and they place that baby in your arms for the first time it will come full circle and you will truly understand a mother's love for her child. I didn't/couldn't understand until I held my daughter for the first time and words can't describe the love you have for your child. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her.

Trust me your mom knew. She knew Sarah and she still knows. She loves you so much and just because she's not here physically, in spirit she's with you Looking after you. Loving you and protecting you. Lots of love and hugs. Heather
 
Bloom in winter , I am sorry you also have had to see your mum go through cancer , Yet im glad thoes few moments of tears bring you so some sence of peace/feel good. its hard to remember , as you know , but good at the same time to not forget , Because they are our mum's , and they were there for us for as long as they could be. (((warm hug))) Heather , thank you , yet again your words seem to bring me peace even while in a state of dispair. so thank you. sarah .
 
(((Huge Hugs)))

You are doing so well. All those past memories coming out is so hard.

It took me ages to come to terms whem my Mum died. I didn't know she was ill, got a phone call on the Friday to say she was in hospital, family drove straight up to see her (300 miles) and she died on the Sunday - lung cancer.

Continue to talk and enjoy the food

With loving thoughts
KP

Had a group therapy session , With 3 other people , 2 were almost ready to leave , They were nice people. But talking infront of others isnt something im good at. I told my T this , she said thats ok and i could just listen , or talk as much as i wanted , but she encouraged me to try and talk....''you dont have to go if you cant handle it at the moment'' well theres no way im passing up a change to gain some sort of recovery/confidence ....so i gave it a go. It was a trauma session , Hearing them talking about how they now understood it wasnt there fault , and how they feel like there emotions are now directed at there attackers bought me real hope , i sat listning in awe and hoping soon ill feel like that too. She asked me , ''sarah do you want to share how you feel today , towards your attack , you dont have too , just take your time like i told you earlier'' - My heart was pounding , I could feel eyes on me , yet kind caring eyes. I Struggled to get a sentance out , I could feel myself welling up , trying so hard to stop the tears , but feeling them pouring down my face , ''Dirty , lost and used'' Thats all i got out to start with , I buried my head in my knees , i didnt want to be seen with tears , feeling emotions, Ive never felt a calm but intence emotion like that before. I felt an intence sadness , I did a poem in my reflection time , she wanted me to read it , said how hearing myself verbally saying thoes words and knowing they have been heard could help me begin to trust and to realise the emotions i feel...so i did ,,, here it is :

Broken, used and Mistreated i write this
Angry sadness fills my veins
Wheres my controll gone
I feel a stain on my soul , A dent in my sanity
Please someone thake this pain away
Blank like a sheet of paper
Surrounded by poisonous demons
I hate the monster i see in the mirror
Yet the monster really is them
All 5 of them , They haunt me
I cant and i wont let them win , Theyre filth , They have made me feel like a whore
Echoes of there dirty comments ring in my mind ,
One day thoes echoes will go , And f*ck them , they will be dead to me.

Therapy again tomorrow.
 
"Hearing them talking how they understood that it wasn't their fault and how their emotions are now directed at their attackers...." One day that will be you Sarah. That will be you too. I know it will. You are doing Great! I am in awe of your strength! You go girl. Keep up the good work. Lots of love and hugs. Heather
 
Thank you heather . . . Yet again have put hope into my mind..so thank you . . . i hope that you are doing ok today and in generall , Sarah
 
was told id be ok to go to my sisters meal today , it was awful...so i sent this to my T for tomorrows session as i dont know if ill be able to talk about it.......now back at the priory and feeling tearfull.

trying to stay in controll felt almost impossible. I felt like i was being looked at , Even if i wasnt , i felt like i was. I orderd a small plate of food , because i cant/dont eat large ammounts , But fear overtook me when it was put infront of me. I was getting clammy hands and i felt like i could just run out of there. There were more people than i expected , 11 alltogether. To me the small plate of food looked massive. The vegetarian option was a veggie lasange , so that was fine (i thought), But lasange is made with that white sauce stuff , I looked at it and thought , shit. Everyone was eating and i felt sick at the prospect of actually eating that. I sat deep breathing , trying to calm myself and realise its just food. i thougt to myslef , get a f*cking grip and just eat your f*cking food and shut the f*ck up you stupid f*cking mind playing idiot. Im eating trying to look normal. I felt eyes , everywhere , i HATE HATE HATE to see someone looking at me , ever really , but when eating its worst, i wanted to go , i didnt feel like i could breathe. Its my sisters birthday , i couldnt let myself flip out , not infront off all thoes people. That sauce was f*cking disgusting , the texture made me feel like i could be sick there and then. I was drinking my cider like a horse to wash it down and take the taste and texture away. The thing that bothers me the most with food is being watched when i eat (makes me feel like i could get angry at someone or flip a table in the air , for some reson i ofter have this feeling/strong erge like i want to flip things in the air when im upset/angry...i dont know why it makes me so angry , but it does) and eating thick/smooth textures , because it reminds me of THAT and if i feel like i have to swallow it in a social setting i go back and remember being forced to swallow it then and them telling me if i dont ill be cut , once that memmory comes into my mind i just want to cut.The physical act forced me to swallow it , it was demoralising and i can here them saying it and i feel dirty like its somehow infected me...i dont say much of what they said , because its sick , and its graphic , but i could hear it , like it was screaming at me i dont want to write this but its there and its sick , its burning into me , 'im going to c**e in your mouth and you swallow it all or ill f***ing cut you.......it was the agression in his voice that terrifies me when i remember it , unsafe..............(not typing the rest its too much and graphic)...................' i tried not to , but the act forced me to , that feels so dirty to write , . It was too much , it reminded me more than ever of the sick stuff they deposited in my mouth , I felt ill , Not ill as in a WANT to be sick , ill as in , im going to be sick i cant hold this much longer. i get up to go the the toilets because i could feel my stomach contracting when it does that i have about a muinit or two untill ill be sick , and vomit , unvolentarily. Even if i hadnt been unvolentarily sick , i would have made myself sick anyway. I cleaned up rinced my mouth ect , sat there thinking im not putting that in my mouth , why cant i get passed it ? i try to think what it is thats making that bit so painfull...but i cant get hold of it at the moment . i dont know what it is about that part of the second act that makes me feel so emotional....but it makes me feel un-pure. i just feel numb , and emotionless but with tears.
 
((((HUGS)))) Sarah...my heart goes out to you.. I really can't imagine how difficult this is for you right now.. But I'm so proud of you bezzie! As you always say to me, "your strength inspires me"... Ditto Ditto Ditto, my freind. You may not feel it at the moment, but your doing so well.. keep strong and take care. Xxx
