Thank you so much for choosing my question to answer here Jamie. I think a lot of people will definitely be able to relate and I hope, find inspiration and encouragement to reach out for support in your words too.

I know I've told you many times how your words lift me up. I did reach out for help at the beginning of the week, after a few weeks of struggling with the second part of my question. We have a local listening service connected to the mental health team I've been with several times and I called them and they encouraged me to seek help from my doctor with regards the changes in my mental wellbeing that I am struggling with. I'm now being referred to a team who will assess me and help me find the best help going forward, it's just a bit of a wait for an appointment from them. The one thing I was still struggling with as I was reflecting on things was how to know to ask for help without the weeks of struggle beforehand and you've really helped me shine a light on that in this answer. Thank you Jamie! Always grateful for you!

You’re so welcome Sebastian. Your question was important and everything you’re sharing here makes sense. I’m sorry for the waiting. That’s definitely not easy, especially during a hard time. I hope you can be gentle with yourself and lean on people who care about you, along with good things you enjoy, in the midst of trying to be patient. Thanks for your kind words as always. We’re all cheering you on.
