Yesterday I had a good day - I went with my support worker on a bus I have not got before instead of getting a cab and went for an assessment at a Mind centre. It was to see if there are any activities I might be interested in doing to get out more and build confidence and stuff. I liked the sound of the music one and she said further down the line I might like to consider facilitating it too. There were some others I liked the sound of too but I have decided to think about them before signing up.

The assessment was quite intense including a thorough risk assessment which was painful as I had to revisit things in my past like the suicide attempt. I also had to talk about self harm and pills. I mean I could lie but I think it is better to be open and honest about this and she said it would not go anywhere - notably the GMC

I have to wait for a formal letter before I am allowed to go but hopefully it will be good - plus my support worker is going to come with me again for the next session so I can get a bit more used to the bus route. Man it is long - about an hour.

Anyhow that was what I did yesterday

Huge hugs to all
