I started to suffer from stress at work around a year ago.
It took me by surprise - I’m not a crier usually! I burst into tears while out walking my dog. I called the GP practice and the receptionist was so patient and caring it makes me fill up a bit thinking about it.
I’ve had 3 or 4 similar relapses into depression since and each time the reception staff have been amazing. The empathy and time they gave me every time when I couldn’t get my words out because was so upset. I can’t thank them enough as the first point of contact.
The GPs who subsequently supported me -again 10/10. Fantastic service and it makes me angry that they’re so under pressure. I was also referred to Fit for Work telephone counselling - also superb. I’m so thankful to everyone involved in my care - you all work so hard and I think you’re brilliant x
