Independence - moving out!
hello! So, on the eve of one of the biggest steps I've ever taken - moving into supported accommodation, I'm sitting in my room surrounded by an unimaginable amount of stuff ranging from play doh to donut shaped pillows and all the weird stuff in-between. I initially wanted to have a bit of a spring clean of my belongings before moving so I could just take the important stuff, but the thing is when there is more than one of you in a body it gets a bit tricky trying to figure out what should go and what should stay. Packing for 5 is not easy feet! I have thought about the things I use on a regular basis, necessary stuff like hair brush and tooth paste, some colouring and my daft collection of Harry Potter stuff. But then, I think about all the times that I'm not around, all the times when i'm not me. Sometimes I need blankets and certain teddies to feel like my life isn't in danger, sometimes I spend hours drawing in the hopes it distracts me from self harming,
