Life Chart

Today at CBT I was asked to plot my life chart. I knew some basic ones - potentially my highest and my lowest, but was interesting to try and plot 35 years into a piece of paper. I labelled the years under my age.  I was sure on the lowest: 2015. The year where everything was fine and nothing felt right. That was easy.
