So I'm feeling alot more positive than two days ago before I joined. Feeling the benefits of seeing that others out there have the same problems, and of getting some of my feelings out for the first time in ages.

It's amazing how some days a cup of tea in bed and a few kind words from strangers can make you feel better than you have in months, and on other days dropping a pen can make you burst into tears.

I read a post earlier suggesting keeping a list or a pinboard to recognise all the positive things, however small, that happen in the day to try and stop focusing only on the negative, and I'm defo going to start that tomorrow. Plus I enjoy doing sticking and pasting, childish sort or art things. I'm an artist who can't paint or draw so it'll be an outlet for me.

I'm also going to email my tutor before I go t bed to arrange a meeting where I will finally get round to explaining my problems, and I'm going to hand in the second part of my doctors' registration form as i have a big gap between lectures.

Thanks everyone who has spoken to me so far x
