Hello lovely, we all process things in different ways and ultimately we must remember that what we are all experiencing is very traumatic. This will present in all sorts of different ways and at different times throughout our journeys. It sounds like it might be a good idea to contact your GP, reach out to family/friends if you can and contact the LFF helpline to check in and make someone aware, don't suffer in silence and keep it in. We are all here for you. Keep reaching out to us xxx

Oh lovely sending huge hugs engulfed with love xx

I dont think we can ever truly recover from this journey, however look how far you have come, I remember your first post and you have coped amazingly so never forget that x

Emotions can just take over and we feel at such a lost, as with everything it just takes time, while today may feel sad, tomorrow is another day,

Let your tears run suppressing your feelings is just one way of been able to ease the pressure

There is no harm in reaching out for help but most importantly dont feel that you are alone in this as you are not xx

You have got this and the road ahead will lift the sadness you feel now it will get better, in 3 weeks is a huge milestone to reach, will it get better, Yes , will it take time, Yes xx

Your emotions are normal, can you do something today even just going for a walk to get some fresh air and maybe stop for a drink or coffee xx

I went out for lunch with my daughter and I didn't wear baggy trousers and a hoodie I wore my leggings my fancy dr martens and took a handbag for the first time in almost 3 years,.this may sound silly but this was all a huge step for me, for once I felt like my head was a little higher today, I must have cried for over an hour this morning it was probably well needed, your kindness is always so needed folks I thank you all

hi there, maybe your feelings are because it's coming to and end , you've spent so much time and headspace in this situation it's maybe the realisation that this is another massive step forward, good on you for dressing up and getting out try and do that every day and remind yourself that you are a good person take a sauna take a swim and try to look forward to a new year xxx

Bless you xxxx all I can add is to 'allow' yourself to be sad, there really is so much to grieve about on this journey.

Also relish the good times (honest there will be plenty that come along). There are so many mixed emotions....... you can and will do it xxxx
