I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Hi @Former-Member
The best thing I did with my GP is write down what I was dealing with a let her read it. Asked her to wait untilI I had left then I didn't have the added pressure of any reactions or questions at the time. But I then knew she knew and could talk 'around' things without actually having to say anything aloud. This helped me enormously - knowing she had more insight into how I was feeling and coping and what I was thinking without heaps of questions. My GP is very good at determining how far to push, when to stop and gaging where I'm at by my reactions to any questions or statements now. I know I am extremely blessed to have such a wonderfully caring and insightful GP. I hope that you can find this kind of support from yours also.
Thinking of you xx
