Well, it's been a very bumpy past month or so as I left my job that was doing everything but good for my mental health and started a new role. I had a few very scary moments amongst it all - the why is a long story related to the complex arrangements for my transition out and into new situation - and that has meant I now have a peer support worker to meet with in-person for the next few months (they're nice). SI has been on the radar. In amongst it all, I reached out to my brother. He'd never seen me like that before and it was maybe the first time I'd been completely vulnerable and honest with him about my experience with anxiety and how it can impact my life. I am on their radar - his wife has been lovely and we now have a channel of communication.
I'm a week into the new role. A little nervous about expectations and still recovering from the 'trauma' of the past several months of the last job. I'm hoping I come through this ok. But I made the right decision and a decision that prioritised my health.
