@LostAngel You mentioned lots of anxiety/depression going on, and you haven’t seen your GP or psych for months.

I was wondering if there was a reason you haven’t been back to these for support. Sometimes it takes a while to find a good fit. Someone you feel comfortable talking to.

Its not something anyone can do alone.

Take care. Stay safe.
