Tonight was the last session for out therapy group. It had run for seven weeks and four hours each week. We were all victims of childhood sexual abuse and the idea of the group was to help identify that we were not at fault and rid us of a lot of shame and guilt that we have carried all our lives.
I have found it quite a roller coaster ride with some really good moments and some down ones as well. I have spent many hours crying but I don't see that as all bad. My emotions have been bottled up for so long and I was too ashamed to allow anyone to really see how I was feeling.
This had led to many years of feeling angry and resentful whereas now I feel I am more able to express how I feel honestly and openly.
Christmas is really close now and my doctor and psychologist are going on two weeks leave and my psychiatrist on 4 weeks leave. I am concerned how I well I will cope with them away. I will see my psychologist on Friday and my GP on Monday (Christmas Eve) which I am thankful for.
I have had a lot of trouble either getting to sleep or staying asleep over the last week and that has contributed to my low mood. With the aid of medication over the weekend I was able to get 8 hours straight sleep on Saturday night and my mood has definately lifted again as a result.
