I am a Worrier

My Mum and her fiancé, Rob, have just gone on holiday to Cornwall for 9 days. This is the first time they have been away since my last relapse that put me in day hospital for two weeks.

Even though I feel better in myself, I feel vulnerable and a little afraid. My Mum is my main support, she knows everything that happened and I feel comforted knowing she is around. Now that she is not here I feel lost and worried that without her around I might deteriorate again, she was the reason I stopped self-harm and the suicidal idealization. I worry I will succumb to my thoughts of these things that are always present.

When my Mum isn’t around, I begin to crumble and lose the grip I have gained on my life over the last month or so.
