"I felt like a small amount of weight had lifted from my shoulders"

I’m suffering from anxiety and depression. I believe the main cause is my poor health. I’m constantly in pain with very poor mobility and my diabetes HbA1c has never been within the target range.

We discussed how I’m feeling and why I think that I’m struggling. For the first time in a long time I felt like I was finally being listened to and heard. I felt a sense of relief after having talked about my struggles and like a small amount of weight had lifted from my shoulders. I came out of our meeting feeling more optimistic about the future than I have for a very long time.
