(as the patient),

Moving house and down sizing, felt like a mammoth task.

Always liked to have a garden, space in my house for my family to return in an emergency, for family parties.etc.

I did move basically as my health would not permit me to continue to keep my home as I liked it to be. I am now so very happy in my little flat.

However i did feel overwhelmed by the move the financial problems that ensued, and felt almost suicidal. 

I was referred by Dr Jamieson of the Largs doctors practice to Community Mental Health Team (Elderly) and I was allocated to CPN Emma.

She has been a life saver, listened to my stories, which my family felt were a little like a female Billy Connelly, went round in circles and always returning to my first point. Helped me to recognise my anxiety and showed me how to over come these.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with us. It appears to have been a difficult time for you.

It can be extremely overwhelming moving home especially when we still have to deal with day to day demands however I am delighted that you have settled into your flat.

I am pleased that the care and support you received was delivered by a kind, caring and compassionate staff member and I hope that you will continue to get the support you need.

Your kind and thoughtful comments will be shared with Emma which they will gratefully receive.

With our best wishes

Karen
