Hello all,
Just thought I'd post some positive stuff..
All is going really well for me right now. I've met a lovely bloke we've been together around 6 weeks and it's going really really well. He treats me really well and I feel totally secure in our relationship. Until I met him I'd been single for about 5 years, and didn't think I wanted to be in a relationship again. But then I met S and just clicked and it just feels right and natural to be together. He's met my family and I've met his and everyone has liked each other.
I've also left my part time job after 6 years of working there. I start a full time job in another shop next Monday. Again, this feels like the right move. I've no doubt I'll be shattered working full time for a while, but I'm fit and healthy mentally and physically so I'll survive. Surprisingly I feel positive about all this and not at all worried or daunted.
On a slight negative I've got tonsillitis at the moment, so feel a bit crappy. But even this hasn't affected my mood. I'm still positive and future focused.
Those of you who've known me on here for a while will know that life has not always been like this for me. It's been a long long journey. I've had MH stuff going on for more of my life than I've not had MH stuff. Life has got extremely bleak in the past and I've truly not wanted to carry. I'm not entirely sure how things turned around, but I'm so very grateful that they have. I feel so lucky to have come through this, and I've got a real zest for life right now. I'm not deluded that things will always be so good, life is full of up and downs, and MH is such a fragile concept. But for now life is good and I'm going to make the most of each good day
