ME – “Why do you do this to me?”

Sanity – “Sometimes you need to lose me for a bit in order to find yourself”

ME – “But how do I get you to come back?”

Sanity – “Love yourself a bit more”

ME – “It’s not that easy!”

Sanity – “Yes it is, you need to remind yourself that it’s ok to be human, it’s ok to cry, but you need to remember to look after yourself, to find those things that make you smile again”

ME – “Why can’t I just be ok like all the other mums, they are coping ok, it’s not fair”

Sanity – “They are not on your journey, that’s why, you can’t compare your life to anyone else’s, your journey is as individual as you, they will undoubtedly be going through their own struggles, concentrate on your path, your journey, your recovery”

ME – “What do I do now? How do I get better?”

Sanity – “With slow but determined steps, remind yourself each day that you deserve to get better an that you WILL, I’ll come back for good one day, but for now look at what you’ve achieved in the last 12 months, you are stronger than you can ever imagine.

ME – “Please don’t leave again…”

Sanity – “Here have this”

ME – “Why are you giving me this card…hey where did you go?”

The card read “A little bit of SANITY – So even when I’m not here you know I’m never far away”.
