Wow, Evie, you've come a long way. I remember when you first joined...and I am so impressed where you are today. There are tears in my eyes too.

Thank you logan, vera and Nam. The last few have been difficult, I feel like I'm having a relapse almost, and that all the work I've done in the past year has been pointless. But I know enough to know that the feelings will pass. I really appreciate the encouragement, it really helps me now that I am feeling so out of sorts.

Hi Evie

Don't despair. Sometimes when we regress we often then move forward at a much faster rate and quickly pick up to where we left off.

I had trouble being abused by men and would do really well then sometimes I would end up back where I started and felt so dejected - like I had failed myself. What I did realise though was that even though I had gone backwards I could realise it rather than being subconsciously there so I was able to move forward faster realising where I was. I also found despite going backwards I was not stuck as deeply as I was the first time - I came back easier and easier and realised a lot more along the way. It was like I had to go back to see what I had learned as it was only through the lessons I had learned that I was able to heal and move forward.

If I was you I would be really proud of where I was and what I had achieved :thumbs-up

It gives me so much hope to see what you've done in a year. I'm not very patient but I'm no quiter. I'll hang on to this hope that I'm going to get better. I'll too beable to work with the things I need to work through. I've got so much from my childhood that I need to deal with. It scares me so much but I will get through this. survived it the first time the best I knew how, Now I survive it the way I should of.

I hope you're right Nicolette. I'm feeling kind of discouraged right now. My attitude is better than it was a few days ago but I really crashed hard this time. I have done really well though, considering that I have severe PTSD and autism. The odds have definitely been stacked against me, but I have defied those odds. At least I keep trying to tell myself that.

Thanks hollyberry, I'm glad it gives you hope. I figure if I can do it anybody can!
