Hi Doze, good to hear from you. How are you? Are things much the same?

And Unspoken, it sounds like you're onto something with looking at your childhood. It's so sad that you didn't get proper support when you were younger. Going through this as an adult is so tough but the thought of you as a little girl feeling so distressed and suicidal and being bullied is heartbreaking...

I'm not a fan of digging up the past for the sake of it, but when the past is affecting the present then we don't do ourselves any favours by trying to ignore it. It sounds like there is significant trauma in the past for you and you are being very brave and sensible in trying to face it and work through it even though it's hard work and I'm guessing pretty tough on you emotionally.

So glad your employers are being understanding, it sounds like with their support and meds and therapy and your own determination, that you have a lot in place to get you through this to a stronger place.
