Dear Diary,

I have began reading an informative CBT self help book whilst I wait on therapy. Fifty pages in, I’m hopeful of the reversing potential this practice can have on my mental illness, it seems to be just what my mind was hungering for. 

My habitual thought patterns have for so long been stubbornly set in stone, it is time now that I chip away at them and lay down new healthy ones. 

This year has been a particularly difficult one on me, I will be physically scarred by it for the rest of my life. It simply can’t go on like this, hardcore introspective uprooting is past due - it is time I confronted the demon I fear the most, myself.
