Dear Diary,

I went to my appt with social worker. She has recommended I go to a few groups. One being a panic group, another postnatal Dep group and another Domestic Violence group. She thinks I have a lot of issues to deal with at the moment, that are just overwhelming me.

She thinks I am a strong person, but I do need some help along my journey to recover from all the Trauma of the last 18 months. I thought yipee, I am finally getting some help.

The groups will be good for me, as I will meet others who have also been thru the same life experiences as myself, so I wont feel so alone in all this. I am starting to settle in my new home and area too.

I am having two good days and one not so good atm, so things have slowly improved for me. I am also still attending al-Anon and I think that is a positive start to my recovery to heal myself.

Hi cherry
Great to see u are making positive steps, meeting some new people will do u the world of good, it's not easy moving to a new area, don't forget playgroups and things like that can be a great oppertunity not just for u but your son also.
Take care and chat to u soon.

love B1

The panic group will be easy to find because that's the room where everyone is jumping out the windows.
It all sounds pretty good to me.

Hi Cherry1,

From a fellow social worker, I'm glad she offered you some help and direction. I'm also pleased you are on the road to recovery.
All the best.
