Occupational health support

"Occupational health support"

About: Lanarkshire Community Services / Occupational Therapy

(as the patient),

During lockdown I hit a bout of anxiety, panic, fear and depression which took me to the very edge. I didn’t think I was going to survive and thoughts of taking my own life were a constant presence.

My GP helped with meditation and referred me to the Lanarkshire occupational health team.

My support came from a young man Connor who was a fantastic listener with a lovely manner and caring nature. Connor helped me with coping strategies, listening, talking things through while taking things a day at a time which really worked for me.

I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have had this support for several weeks and I am now feeling like my old self again.
