I guess I’d become quite a pessimistic, cynical person through experiences in my early twenties. Being ill hasn’t helped because it sent my head further into that bad space. I feel I’m gradually really changing my attitudes and general way of thinking, I find myself challenging opinions. This has been helped by getting out more, listening to what people say and not being so judgemental myself but the volunteer training I’m doing is really increasing my awareness at how I deal with situations and looking at things from many different angles/ perspectives. Overall I feel like a happier and more chilled out person.
