doing ok cheers for checking in Gaz had my assessment with the mental health nurse via my private insurance there on Monday and they've scheduled me a call with the counsellor next Monday. Would rather not be a phone but massive wait list for face-to-face appointments even through private apparently. Partner is having her first session this morning through the same insurance thank god. she's really struggling so I'm hoping it helps her cope a little. She'll be doing ok but little things will just send her over the edge (90% of the time work-related). She spoke with her boss on Monday about reducing her hours which was a big step, they're looking into how to make the rota work We're off to Donegal then this afternoon for a long weekend, staying in Redcastle a couple nights and then driving in home on Saturday morning. We're gonna climb Errigal if the weather is alright as well. bringing my wetsuit so regardless of weather I'll be jumping into the sea which always helps clear my head.

Fair play for being proactive on it prop. From personal circumstances, just doing something to try and help yourself has a positive snowball affect (i.e. booking in with counsellors, planning a trip away etc).
I hope the counselling helps both of you and always feel free to offload on here

Fairly impromptu company meeting this morning, found out that one of my colleagues committed suicide earlier in the week. He was a nice bloke, a specialist in his field and fiercely intelligent. Not quite sure how to process it, but I can't stop thinking about why he chose to end it all. I hope he's found peace now anyway.

Poor man. Sorry to hear that SeaSharp, that's awful news. It's very difficult for anyone to process that sort of thing and try to understand it. Hope you are OK.
