When I had my first breakdown I went to drs for medication to help me keep working. I was put on a public waiting list to see a physcologist. I carried on my god I really don't know, how my suicidal feelings left me.

After one year started being suicidal again and after begging I was finaly able to see someone. How I kept myself alive in all that time is a miracle. Soon as I was getting the councilling that I so needed I was able to sweep my life clean and make so many important disitions.

Basically I could not function anymore so with the help of the fantastic Pyscologist I made a lot of big changes and decisions.

The first thing I did was change my job. Secondly I left my 30 year marriage. To stay in my situation was deadly I had to take action.

It was a lot of work and effort but so thankful thats all in tbe past now and I am forever moving forward with my life. The public system almost failed me.

I'm so glad u finally found some peace and happiness x
