"Recovering from burnout, depression and anxiety"

My job coach suggested the Condition Management Programme (CMP) to me on our first call.  I was in a very complicated set of circumstances that had led to my burn out, depression and anxiety.  I knew I needed support to help me to find my way out of the dark pit I was in.  It was a relief to find that Lucia, Maria, Loretta and Lorraine were non-judgemental but extremely supportive.  All meetings were held online on Zoom.  Some were one to one meetings and helped me to set goals and take actions that improved my diet and exercise.  I also took part in group sessions held on zoom.  These were informal, helpful and fun too. We covered sessions on Thinking styles, behavior and lifestyle, anxiety and stress management and assertiveness.  I contributed when I felt able but came away from every session feeling more positive.  These sessions have help to give me a tool kit that I can return to when I need it.  The only thing I missed was not being able to get to know the others on the course as easily as if we had been in a room together but overall it was very positive.   

Today I had my final review session with Lucia.  It was great to see just how far I have come since September.  I still have a way to go but am feeling more confident to face the future - whatever it holds.
