I am lucky enough to have a social worker I can talk to at work.

After previously setting an appointment I had the chance to talk to her via a Teams session.

I was looking forward to this meeting as it was the first time I could tell my story to someone ‘face to face’. I was able to see her reaction and she could see mine as I told her my story.

Obviously, it was painful to tell but she was more than comprehensive and was of great support just by listening to me.

I believe this is a very important part in the healing process.

So I really do want to thank her for that. I am so sorry for ruining her day with my depressing story.

On a side note, unfortunately melatonin has no effect on me.  I still can’t sleep. But I suppose it’s because my mind is constantly thinking about the situation. It’s hard not to think about it.
