General / Mental Health Support Thread

Thank you, that's such a lovely thing to say.

I always knew my family would support me through anything because they always have.

Work has been a pleasant surprise though. I've always enjoyed my job and got on with the people I work with, which is good luck in itself - but I never really thought I'd find myself in this position and it's been such a relief to find them to be concerned, respectful of my privacy, keen to do anything they can to make things easier for me, and insistent all the way up the hierarchy that I put my health first and don't let work add anything to my stress. They're all about me being in charge of who knows what and taking whatever time or adjustments I need to get better.

I work for a huge company in a fast-paced industry, you hear such horror stories from some businesses about how employers treat people when they get ill but my experience couldn't really have been better.

All the best to you, and we are all rooting for you xx

You have to have a bowl of water for breakfast. And lunch. Oh...a bigger bowl for tea. Save some water for supper :)) You can put salt and pepper in it. Mix with sugar for a dessert, though.

It’ll be done soon and then you’ll be armed with more info and hopefully good news.

Pizza, pies, chips etc. What we’d all like to eat and what tastes like heaven!

Soft then low fibre were my food options after I fell ill.
