After I had a meltdown at work yesterday a lot of people saw the mess I've got myself into. I was terrified about opening up but I sat with my boss in her office crying my eyes out and telling her a lot. Some of my other work friends came in to see me and heard some of it.

I was nervous about going into work this morning, but I am absolutely incredibly blessed to have such wonderful colleagues. My boss has come up with some suggestions to help me and is lending me her running machine, and my other friends have been trying to organise a local night out just so I can get out of the house.

While I still feel low, just seeing the support that people are willing to give me means that they really do care about me and it's a lovely feeling. It really does makes a difference knowing that people are there to support you when you think they won't.

It's going to be a struggle getting back up but now I feel like I have people willing to pull me along with them. I feel very lucky today.

It is wonderful that you have such supportive colleagues. And very brave of you to allow yourself to be vulnerable and open with your boss.

It's nice to hear a night out is being planned. It took your opening up to cause them to become real friends.

Good job Evaluna. It was a bold step and it paid off. Appreciate what you've done to help yourself and share that with the appreciation for your friends. Hope it continues to help and provide you some well being and even some joy.
