Day 2

Waking up at a place that’s not yours. Feels a bit like holidays… Enjoy because you’re cancelling your old plans.

What shall I do now? My friends are at work. Maybe start writing down my thoughts…? Like a diary. Writing should be therapeutic!

A beautiful swedish summer day! One of the few! I now realize how hard it is for people struggling with mental illness when facing such moments and not being able to enjoy it. Somehow many ‘tough’ moments in my life were followed by beautiful sunny days, and I chose back then to see it as a sign of hope. Doesn’t feel like it right now…

Managed to find a notebook with an inspiring cover at least! Started writing my first thoughts. Sitting at a park, one of the things that calm me most. Maybe not that successfully today.

And then it hit me! I need to start telling people…my family doesn’t know anything! They live miles away… How do I say something like that on the phone? Who shall I start with??

Well the answer was easy. My super-aunt! She’s always been there for everyone and has the solution to almost everything! After the first shock was over she started making a plan. Ooh! She’s a nurse by the way! 🙂
