5pm



the meeting tonight was GINORMOUS ! 

never seen it so huge 

and i could still think of people that weren't there ... 

anyway there was no cross talk today 

there was an incredibly long silence 

in which i decided i was passionate to say this : 

' when i first started to lose my mental health 

my alcoholic father told me i was bonkers 

and how much that hurt ... ' 

P said that her sister is 

'mad as a box of frogs' 

but i didn't react to her 

i do think its like swearing 

in that its a way of dumping the insanity outside yourself ... 

the insanity/agression is over there 

its in you , or my sister or the meeting 

anywhere other than myself ... 


anyway this was not a boxing ring 

this is judo ... 

disarming your opponent by making yourself vulnerable 

it comes with alot of experience. 

A man came up to me afterwards 

and said what a lovely person i am ! 

i feel that i have been heard and validated
