Thank you for your reply!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that has resigned from jobs before even attending a first shift. I often have to remind myself I am doing the best that I can but sometimes it can be hard but now I'm starting to focus on looking after myself and taking more time out when I need it.

It's just hard to find a therapist that doesn't charge an arm and a leg and for a while, I told myself I didn't really need it but maybe I do?
