""This year I really lost myself. I spent a lot of time anxious and afraid. I really felt that there was nowhere for me to go before I decided to give therapy another go. I remember thinking that when you're feeling that low, really what is there to lose? It turned out to be a decision that I truly believe saved my life. I've always enjoyed writing. It has always felt an easier way to put down into words how I feel and what I want, than even attempt to express what I am trying to say. In a year where I learnt to be comfortable being uncomfortable and confronted my demons head on, my writing gave me a sense of control. It provided me with an outlet to express myself, make some sense and lightness of the darkness, and later, to be proud of the growth I have shown. I started writing about what was going on and how I was feeling. I started to piece together what felt like a broken puzzle, but was actually my life. I learnt to forgive myself and gave myself permission to heal and to find my peace. This is my journey through therapy.""
