@Carly, thank you for being so candid. It’s not easy to share these things. It’s very brave that you bit the bullet and went to counselling. I understand your reluctance about getting help. Growing up in the north-east of Scotland, it was built into me that we ‘deal with our own problems’, a ‘grin-and-bear-it’ type attitude, but I know so many people who got the right help through therapy and perhaps without it, their story may have been so different….. I’m so glad it helped you….
ps. In this period I’m trying to allow myself to feel sad without feeling guilty! So I loved what you wrote: “…but I also enjoy a cloudy day.”
