I had a similar thing. I kept all of my old journals in a box under my bed. They documented my life throughout my hospitalisations, suicide attempt, self harming etc. Every now and then I'd read some and it was hugely sad and hopeless. I decided by keeping them I was holding onto my past, so I shredded them all up and threw it away. Since then I've felt a lot more free and have been able to move on with my recovery.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
