Hi guys,
I'm very much struggling with my anxiety and depression for a little bit now. I'm reaching out for support from my forum community/family. I was not sure, what location, to put this in. And also, a place for others to check in too.

@TAB Glad things are not too bad for you, and before you know it, you will be motoring along. Thanks for your understanding and support. I have dealt with a bit and got through each time. You have a good memory about sick pets etc
What did you do today?

@oceangirl Yes, it made sense.
Sorry, it was a shemozzle on the notes.
I found hospitality environments tended to have worse work cultures, when I worked in them, maybe because they are high pressure and turn around. However, over the decades I have been in good cafes and restaurants where the staff and ownership had respect. It actually matters for the customer too. Good bosses are rare.
Sorry I haven't been on forum for a while.
I had a lot of stress and a big event, with a lot riding on it. Hopefully it has been good for the family. I have been trying to unwind from it.
Enjoying the autumn...

Hey @TAB
Glad your physio went well, and you have made improvements in your treatment, well done. What is gaps in injuries?
I stayed mostly at home but went to bunnings. And did some tidying up and walked the puppies.
Tomorrow I have GP appointment and nothing else planned. Hope you have a great day tomorrow Tab.
