Thank you Kate for your reply and contact numbers.

Yes, it is very difficult, more so than I could have ever imagined.

With so many emotions on any given day, from anxiety to extreme sadness where tears fall freely.

Some days expressing myself, other days feeling oppressed, overwhelmed.

Day by day 🌀
