Re: catching up

Hi @hiddenite,

It sounds like you are really worried about Jacques and I know that he means alot to you. As you said so well before, Jacques has had appointments in the past and has gotten through them well.

Is there something you can do to in the meantime that will help you to ease your worries?

Re: catching up

Its ok to be anxious the dr will expect that
please work on your breathing so you can be safe to drive.

I know how difficult it is to drive when shaking so badly.

if you can get your breathing a bit slower it will help

Hi @Jacques

I'm sorry to read that you're quite distressed at the moment. I hope you got yourself to your appointment.

I wanted to check in to see if you're okay?

Please remember the appropriate and helpful options to assist when you're distressed - including:

Lifeline 13 11 14 or Crisis chat

Mensline 1300 78 99 78

Suicide call back 1300 659 467 or online counselling

It seems like you're offline now, but when you're back on, can you let us know you're safe.

Thanks & take care,

Nik
