This is an ongoing story, so I’d best keep this page up to date! I’ve been ill for coming up to 3 years now. My job has gone, my business has gone and so have a lot of people who used to be in my life.
I’ve learned how to self help rather than rely on Doctors and how to challenge their opinions!
I may have a lot to tell you to get up to this point.
The thing is that it has taken me all this time to recover from hypothyroidism enough to concentrate on starting to live again.
As the tide rises and flows and the waters move, so does your life change.
You come in at a point where I’ve had the most amazing help, the most wonderful connections to people and some people call it coincidence, I think it’s because I put out the need for help and it came to me.
Everyone tells me that I am recovering quickly and yet to me, over 2 years has gone past since I started my journey and I still have a lot of recovering to do.
I want to take you on my journey as I show you how you can recover you too.
To start my recovery I had to
Make a contract with myself that I would recover, it meant that I would work hard on this when no one else believed how I was feeling.
That I would ask for help, anyone who knew me would know how difficult that would be. I was a doer, a delegator, the one who was capable and now it’s time to accept it’s OK to ask for help.
I would learn, I always have been a researcher, a keen interest in knowing more…to the point I suppose people thought I was a know it all, I’m certainly not that as I found out when learning all about my ill health.
I would do what it took, yes I knew it would take work. I was recovering. I wasn’t fighting. Just by changing that one word from fighting to recovering then my efforts took on new meaning.
That I needed someone to talk to, someone to help me look at all the things I am, I can be and I can do. That person was inside me already and with friends there as extra support I set myself targets and got there!
Ready to move on, not yet as I still have recovery and more to learn. I know and appreciate how far I have come and each day I’m thankful for something new, some improvement.
I’ll share and move on. If you feel I can help you by listening and sharing my experiences then Call me on 03302200112

An important day for you, Gill, but perhaps not completely a sad one. Perhaps the correct thing is to think of it as a rebirth: a new start: a new life. Thank you so much for helping me, with advice based on your long and painful years of experience, and for your friendship. Take care, lovely Gill, and enjoy the next phase of your life. Hope to see you there, in the sunny climate of your rebirth. T xx
Terry,
thanks for your kind words.
I look forward to writing about new things that will also have an impact on your recovery, as I learn – so will I share my knowledge.
Let’s take the next steps together as great friends, supporters and motivators so that we both get the best of everything life has to offer.
