Hey Katie,

It’s very difficult for me to hear other people suffer from the same thing, because I would never wish this to anyone, not even to people who have harmed me in all kinds of ways!
You too are not alone here and, just like you mentioned, we both have to keep focusing that we are worth all the positive things that happen in our lives, even the smallest ones like having washed clothes in our wardrobe and a ceiling covering our heads.
If you don’t mind me asking, what type of help are you giving back to the society? Volunteering directly with elderly and children, for instance? I have given this a thought and have considered it before, but was fearful of it no being helpful but rather even more self-destructive.

Again, thank you so much for sharing your personal experience and I hope that whichever Hell you’ve been through, diminishes with every sunrise!

Hugs from Portugal, both to you and to the UK, which I miss very dearly everyday of my life! :’)
