    i was scared too at first, everyday that passes is a day closer to recovery. i find going for a walk everyday helps even if its only 10 minutes, i dont feel like doing it but once i have i feel better for it. i also listen to podcasts so i feel less alone. and meditation defo helps. how are you this evening? x

      aww im glad you got some sleep. its only this week that ive had a good couple of days im on week 5, be kind to yourself and give yourself time. break the day into hours or even half hours, baby steps. youre going through a journey of recovery (me too) we will be better it just takes time x
