@Former-Member I totally get how you are feeling - I have been there for a long, long time but it has been the support of people on here that have held me up and given me the strength to keep going and now I will do that for you. I will keep telling you that there is light and that you matter and your life is worth living - and you deserve the opportunity to see that and be happy.
If you find it hard to talk about the 'full story' with your psychologist - try writing it down and giving it to them - doesn't have to be the 'whole' story at once - just a little bit at a time - even printing off what you have already wittien here would be a good start. Your psychologist will take it from there and help you put the pieces together.
If you are able to write this on a piece of paper and stick it somewhere that you will see it every day:
I do matter, I am brave, I am strong and I will get through this
Draw a little butterfly next to it so you know I am with you xxx

Hi @Former-Member
I posted in your thread Disclosing very uncomfortable information checking in to see how you're travelling.
Please stay safe tonight and use those crisis service details if things escalate.
Take care,
Nik
