For the first time in over two years today I felt happy

Proper happy. Just enjoying life. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Just happy. And it feels grander than a grand mans grand things.

That is all.

massive step in my reintegration plan with my Psychologist. The ups and downs since we had dinner in London have been huge. To be fair that is probs one of the last times I felt happy cause of everything that has happened since then. You know me. It has taken some time and the reintegration plan still needs work, but just feeling happy again? Fucking hell. Much love to your better half also. xx

Seriously many on DU know about my grief trauma nearly 2 years ago that nearly broke me (kinda did). I have worked with a clinical psychologist for the last 18 months - still a work in progress - but I feel happy and I can recognise I am happy and I get to celebrate that with my lovely DUers. Cause it is huge! Hurrah
