You picked up on me putting myself last, which I didn’t realise I did; you very quickly pointed this out... It was perfect. I wish I'd called earlier.

[It helped me] to be able to tell the truth and verbalise what’s been swirling around my head, someone to actually listen to what’s been bottling up inside me.

I'm surprised at how quick I got to speak to you, I’ve got more understanding and I know Iv'e not gone mad and I’m not being ridiculous.   I like how you are; some people are a bit wishy washy - you are clear and direct.

The ability to talk where its not being judged, where I didn’t have to worry about what I said, like I would do if family were involved. I didn’t have to be guarded….The ability to be open and honest.

I found it very useful; it's put me in perspective again and I have got back in control before it got out of hand. It's nice to have the service to hand. It will help out a lot of people like me… A bit of guidance to get me back on the straight and narrow.

Knowing/hearing that it wasn’t just me as it comes across; the breathing exercises have been useful.  I realised it wasn’t a good relationship; I lost myself and I’ve come to that realisation in this conversation.

You just talking to me about it (anxiety) and going through strategies with me, and talking it through with me really helped. It's been really good talking to someone, thank you.

Being able to explain things, you looked at it and explained it back.  This has allowed me to make sense of it and make plans for the future.  Its explaining why Im behaving the way I am.

Being able to talk to somebody, being able to work out my priorities and how I feel about what’s going on to help me move forward.

I thought I was at the end, then I reached out. Now I feel like I'm back at the beginning
