....and yes. This. I know you are right Katie. I cant seem to rationalise this though.
I had to sit a course today for people whove been out of work for a long time due to illness. I felt so ashemed to be there. I text my father and told him how i felt and that i wanted to run. He said im having to start from scratch but that my recovery will be faster than the others.
sometimes i dont realise how bad things have been. Its almost impossible to benchmark past feelings and states from which i can refer and see improvement.
Im incredibly frightened. Frightened beyond belief. Like when a child is scared of something and they cant reason why. They just "are".
I have compassion for other kids tho but just not my own.
I dotn want anyone to ever become like me.
