Morning appointment with psych was really tough. She stopped desensitization after about ten minutes because I was too distressed Did have a minor breakthrough - we both realised that I can relax more when listening to relaxation music without commentary or words - haven't been able to relax like that before - nearly fell asleep!

Did feel sick and had a massive headache for the rest of the day.

Saw GPin the afternoon and as usual came out more positive and with a bit of life in me - she's an absolute angel.

Hoping for you it is nothing serious. Easy for me to say don't stress until you find out - know that is difficult, know I would think the worst even if my head said there was nothing to worry about. xxx

Had my last psychologist app yesterday for a while. She's supposed to be off until 9 Jan but has made an extra app on 29 Jan to see me - she thinks 3 weeks is far too long to wait. She actually drove me to the grade 6 leaver's dinner today because it was held close to where I used to live and I didn't think I could go because I wouldn't cope. I really wanted to say goodbye to the kids because I had taught nearly all of them - some for two years in a row. Still can't believe she took me.

Seeing my Gp tomorrow and Friday. Then she's on holidays for 3 weeks also. I do have contact numbers for both of them if I really need them in that time - amazing support!

Even though they are that supportive, it doesn't stop my head spinning. I'm finding it very difficult to understand why I am still alive and how I have coped with 'normal' life for so long. I think it's because I have somehow convinced myself that it didn't happen - even though I have always known. It's not until I have been able to find someone I trust enough to start to open up and relive everything that the extent of the violence has become apparent. Sometimes you just think it is 'life'.

I honestly don't know what to say in terms of what as happen to you, there are no words.

I truly hope you are able to heal from what as happen to you and that you are able to move forward with your life. That is my hope for you, and you have more light in your life and thus a bright future

I am starting to get a little sleepy now and I will probably try to go to sleep soon-

Thanks for listening. Does make a difference that you are there - especially on such a tough day for you. I really needed someone tonight. Talk tomorrow?
