I also had a counselling session yesterday for depression/low mood/anxiety and the chap I saw sent me away with three booklets with tips, advise and exercises (as in think about/write down/tick boxes etc NOT squat thrusts etc!). Yes, my AV played up yesterday - I put the booklets to the side and drank BUT this morning I sat and read them and started doing the exercises and thinking things through - and beginning to see that the voice that tells me I can't do it is what other people have said to me over the years and I can prove them wrong.

So while it may be 'just' the end of day 1, it's also the end of the 1st day of the rest of my life
Print out a sign that says:

"You think I can't do it!!!!!!?????

JUST WATCH ME."


and tape it to your refrigerator.
