Today I had one foot in the black hole, waiting and wanting it to swallow me whole.
I was triggered, after being in a triggered state already. Someone unknowingly described so beautifully something to me. It was like offering me a glass of wine and a box of chocolates. It gave me the taste, the need, the want.
It came on so strongly and so quickly it took me by surprise. I wanted it soooooo badly that I just had to run and try to get the feeling.
I was lucky that I went to a place where 2 very good friends were there to bring me down, to ground me and help me. To stop me from acting on my urge. They kept me safe, and I thank them dearly for it. Thank them for the hugs, the hand holding, the mindless conversations.
Thank you to Heidi for a well timed lovely text message too, which made me feel important and human.
They pointed out to me that I have come a very long way since January, as previously I would have acted without a thought, ending up in a mess on the floor where I used to think I belonged.
Without really knowing it I identified my urge before it became a need and therefore in of my control. I stopped. I stop-think-goed without realising it. I have made such a huge progress and I deserve to feel proud about it, I kind of want to jump up and down and shout it from the roof.
I have Jamie at home with me making sure I stay safe, I have a huge supply of chocolate which always makes me feel better after a panic attack. I am watching Peep show which is so bloody hilarious, doesn't seem to matter how many times you watch it.
To the person that unknowingly triggered me, I would like to thank you and give you a huge hug, because you have made me realise just how far I have come.
Once again I am out of the black hole and heading back to my milky way.
wow, well done. I'm proud of you too and damn right you should be too!! good on ya for saying it. great progress xx
