Yes! Suzi, I indulged in buying a new journal so that's a great suggestion. I also reached out to an old friend today just to say I lived her and was proud of her. She told me she was looking after a friend with depression and that helped open up a conversation.
It was a really tough day at work, but just having these little prompts from you guys - just wonderful, understanding strangers, has given me a kick up the butt to start helping myself and I appreciate it immensely.
