- Just over a year ago I was in a mess.Years of mental anguish were about to culminate in a trial against my historic abuser. I was suicidal, scared to go out alone, could barely look after myself and my children, was self-harming daily and was on the verge of admission to an inpatient ward. That admission happened, but when I came out, I was ready to work with a therapist. She really listened to me and for the first time I felt understood and believed. We didn't really talk about the abuse, just how it had affected me, and she gave me strategies to help calm myself and recognise my feelings.She helped me build an imaginary compassionate friend, a lioness called Miracle, and the three of us worked together to overcome some of my difficulties.A year later I am in a completely different place. I still have the odd bad day, but I rarely feel alone or afraid now that I have Miracle. I joined the recovery college, did some courses, and met some lovely people.I started attending Slimming World groups on my own and now go to an allotment once a week.For so long I felt like I was in the darkest cave and couldn't see who I was meant to be.Now my family have me back and that's the greatest gift we could
