Dear Name:

I cannot believe my eyes: is this the Name I know? My goodness, what a positive change of attitude and I like it. I like it that you intend to use this thread as a journal and I would love to read every single post by you and comment.

I like it that you felt confident or stand up when you posted the above, very much so. And I think you have in you good reason to be confident, you have what it takes! And… do notice: feelings change. No one is always confident so please, do not get alarmed when you don’t feel as confident, or when you feel scared.. that will happen. Feelings are like the weather and they don’t stay the same.

You mentioned starting your journey, and a journey it is! Please do post again and again and don’t give up. When you feel confident- post. When you feel discouraged- post! The two feelings are part of the journey. There are things to learn all the time! The journey is about learning, seeing more and more who you are (and you will learn such good things about yourself that it is exciting for me to imagine how good those things will feel to you) and about others, the world we live in.

Till later-

Dear Name:

I appreciate the update, the additional entry to your journal. A better day is a good day. And you felt good about making it to school on time. You felt a bit depressed (feelings change, like the weather) but felt better later (again, they do change… hmm, so next time you feel a bit depressed, remember your journal entry above, that the feeling did change and so… it will change again.

Dear Name:

I am glad to read you are doing so much better, becoming the person you always wanted to be (and always were, in potential), confident and sociable. Regarding doing well in school, I hope that doing better, just a little better can be a motivation as well as maybe increasing your job search just a little, not by much, just by a bit…

Till your next update and post, please continue to take good care of yourself!
