I have always viewed myself as a strong individual, loud, sociable and level headed. The death of my mother 2 days after christmas in 2001 after a battle with cancer changed all of that. For the first few months of last year I seemed normal just drifting through life. I then quit my job as I couldn't cope with it, and have had minimal work since then I then realised I needed help and seeked suuport from a local bereavement charity organisation. Which has helped alot. Christmas was drawing near and I wasn't looking forward to it. So I thought if I visit my boyfriends parents in a far away place then this would make Christmas more bearable. WRONG! I wasn't myself the whole time. And the day I got back i spent nearly the whole day crying. This was one of my lowest days. I needed help and couldn't do it alone as I'd hoped. Ive never been one for clinical medicene unless I really need it for life or death, so I'd heard about SJW, and got some just a few days ago. Its made such a difference already. It has given me the ability to be able to focus on positive things and I even feel my ol' self creeping back in. I feel more motivated and confident. I am not saying its a wonder drug but it helps me do what I have to do during the day and prepare me for the tomorrow instead of dreading it. Ive even taken up a foriegn language and I now feel ready for the travelling expedition my partner and I have been planning for years.
