Good thread, ozzie.

I'm getting better at identifying the signs that I am close to breaking point. This time it all took me by surprise, though, as the pressure came suddenly when I felt let down by those I trusted. I was getting by, but it felt like they were saying "You're coping with all that so do this too" and I just couldn't. I think it is taking me longer to recover from it this time. I had come to believe that my working environment was safe (I was in an unsafe one before) and I realised that it is safer but still not safe. That has made it harder for me to trust others but I am beginning to again now.
