So, through my employer I accessed a counsellor and over a phone call explained my current state of mind and health issues. She suggested that my first priority should be to give my body time to heal after the operation. Then once I was fit enough start exercising more and that would help with with my mental well being.


Just reinforcement that what I was going through and feeling was normal and that I would get through it. So the feeling of hopelessness and loneliness continues. Unfortunately, I think I am becoming too comfortatable being alone and am beginning to isolate myself.

Trust your instinct, Waz. Be gentle with yourself. It might even be worth pursuing the counseling issue a bit harder.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
