Aww I hope tomorrow is better for you @creative_writer. Do you have anything planned?

I hope she gets better soon then @Shaz51

Ah that can be good and bad catching up with uni stuff lol.

I will be moving into my accommodation tomorrow so that’s exciting I’ll let you know how I go tomorrow night once my parents go. I’m a little worried with how I will feel mentally but I’ll see @creative_writer will you be on tomorrow?

Yeah okay that would be nice to say hello I feel the wave turning if you get what I mean I’ve had a few good days so it has to start going down and I feel that coming @creative_writer.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ! Just read you are moving in tomorrow. Ho exciting (on my part anyway).

You have come soooo far @Birdofparadise8 - I'm so proud of you.

Deep down, I sort of feel this is a chance to help you recover. I'm not saying you couldn't recover at home, but I feel this will be the beginning of a greater journey.

It may get rocky before it gets smooth - but we are with you on this journey!

I really appreciate you saying that @tyme I really do think I will enjoy it in the end. Like I’ve said before though I’m still worried though with being on my own.

Why you so excited lol?

Recover I’m not sure I am even there yet.

I'm excited because it WILL be an incredible journey. I'm not saying we are the same, but I've been down that path. I moved to Melb on my own. @Birdofparadise8 .

Please note, the following is MY story - it will be different to yours:

Once I moved, I realised I didn't have my parents 'over' me all the time. If I needed emergency services, they came and I didn't need to be worried about them affecting my parents. When I was at home, I was also concerned that my parents would 'find out'. They knew something was up, but breaking free from them meant I had the independence to fall and pick myself up.

I no longer relied on others picking me up. I had to take this journey on my own. For once in my life, I, myself, contacted services for help because I needed it. Not because someone told me I should.

I had to fall before things got better. And when I mean 'fall', i really mean FALLLLLL... to the utter depths of despair. Ambulance, police, involuntary admissions, chemical restraints, ICU - it was a TERRIBLE time. But at no point did I return to where I was born - I knew this was needed for me to 'wake up' and learn to LIVE.

And yes, things DID get better. MUCH MUCH better than I expected. It's been so rocky, but I treasure every moment because it's made me the person I am today.

I want to see you not only survive but thrive in Melb 🙂
