Hi everyone
Firstly I have to apologise for my posts slowing down recently. I don’t think I wrote anything in July. A little update for what’s going on in my life right now. I finally have a start date for my Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)! Hopefully this time it won’t be delayed 9 months, because of Covid-19 here in the UK. This group therapy is going to be via the NHS’ version of Microsoft teams to begin with, which should mean if we go back into lockdown it won’t be disrupted. In one way it’s good, because it’s finally happening after half a decade of waiting, but it’ll be different from what I was expecting. I guess we’re all having to change and adapt our lives to the new normal.
The second big thing going on in my life is that I’ve been accepted onto a level 2 counselling course, which starts mid-september. It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while. I currently work as a support worker in mental health and have dreams of becoming a qualified counsellor. I really enjoy the 1:1 aspect of the support I give, and would love my role to be focused on helping people set and achieve their personal and mental health goals.
Despite being very busy, I do have a really interesting piece in the works. It’s a topic not often talked about by people with BPD and I think it’s really important we start to speak up about it, so others don’t feel so alone. I hope you enjoy it when it's ready.
In the meantime, take care of yourselves. We’re not on dry land just yet, but we’ll pull through these difficult times.
Out of Darkness. Xx
