Very kind and listened to my rantings

Posted By microscopiumnj43

"Very kind and listened to my rantings"

About: Adult Health & Support Services / Occupational Therapy

(as a service user),

I was referred to occupational therapy by my doctor.

I have fibromialga and arthritis in my hips and back amongst other illnesses. My mobility was really bad and even doing day to day tasks was a problem. This affected my mental health. I am also my Husband's carer and I have had to give up work through ill health.

Katlin was very kind and listened to my rantings. She also pointed out to me things that I had done to make the situation better that I didn't even realise. She also gave me tools to help get out the black hole that I felt I was sinking into.

I would recommend this service to people.
