One thing I would add, and that I am still struggling with, is the overwhelming feeling of shame I have that accompanies any kind of 'failure' - real or imagined. I am trying to kick the label of failure I put on myself, to learn that to fail at something doesn't automatically mean I am a failure!
((((Book)))) you are fab, you are strong! Like Cats says, think of the lessons learnt. I think now that as long as I see the lesson and learn from it, nothing has been a waste of my time or commitment. Each day leads me to progress to who I am now. I am who I am now, because of my failures yes, but more importantly because I learn from them
