Hello I’m sorry to hear that your husband has struggled too but great to hear that he has found some help. I rang my work care support team thing today which is for all staff to just have someone to chat to. The person I spoke to understood so much so quickly. She made me imagine my eight year old self and go give her a hug and tell her all the nurturing things she never got told. It was so powerful. And she told me to buy a notebook today and start writing to my eight year old self. Be kind to her and get to know her. It made me feel so good that someone else vocalised my feelings and gave me something practical to do to help heal my soul (as she said) while I figure out how to pay for some counselling.

I hope your chronic pain hasn’t been too bad today
