Return to Work: Actually Quite Refreshing!

So far, so good. I'm now feeling much more optimistic about the future.

'The Thursday Plan' has worked brilliantly. A perfect mix of achieving necessary tasks and having some time being 'me.'

I didn't feel ready as such. But, actually, it was fine. I'll get there...one step at a time.

Music is back in my life and I'm not going to let it go again.

Through this negative experience, there has been much to learn and there are positive outcomes and new doors opening.

Don't assume somebody that is smiling is OK. You don't know what pain is inside.

'I don't want to go, but I have to.' But with the knowledge that there is no choice, at least for now, I am ready to get on with it.

'Time to talk. Let's end mental health discrimination.'

The train won't wait for you if you are late....should the doctor?
