Re: not coping

It's just been cold here @outlander Would like to see warmer weather.

I know I've got to fess up to my psych and tell her things. I have written them down so if I chicken out then I can just give her the piece of paper.

Re: not coping

Re: not coping

I know you are trying to work as much as possible before you have to take leave @outlander

Hopefully you can get the money organised so it is one less thing to worry about when you are having treatment.
