The Ship is leaving the Dock (positive thread)
Well it's been a strange day!
Back to Dec 18th when I finally cracked, I was offered & took therapy that was sponsored by my employer.
Initially it was for 6 sessions, but that was stretched to 8 & today was the final one. *I am also on a waiting list with the British NHS...bit too slow & they would have been too late.
The therapy sessions that I've had seem to have given me some freedom from all that crap that I used to torture myself with.
I feel like a rusty old ship that has been into dock for a refit - a lick of paint does wonders.
Now I'm back out there & sailing the oceans again, laughing in the breeze...nervous of the storms return, but I know I can deal with it now - my sails will not be ripped and torn again, because they are built from stronger fabric.
I have ballast to keep me grounded, so that I will not rock and turn too much when the waves hit me broadside. If the waves hit me head on, I have a new frontispiece that will deflect them.
Without therapy?
Without the people on this site that have saved my life (I believe that strongly)?
I would be sailing on the Marie Celeste...
Today I am sailing on the ship called 'Hope and Life'... I am the Captain of that ship & I hope to sail it well!
LOVE YOU ALL (getting better at that)...Rik
