Thank you Cathy and WBF. I don't know how I have stayed as sane as I have tbh. I remind myself that there have been many blessings in my life in the last 18 months too. I just have to stop myself sometimes and look a little harder for them.
I'm so lucky that I have a wonderful GP who has medicated me and referred me for counselling (which I'm in my 6th month of waiting on the 4 month waiting list lol). My street had a whatsapp group for lockdown and from that I started a walking group of girls that go out at 0745 every morning, they are wonderful and the walking calms my mind. I met a lovely guy who makes me smile and laugh all the time. Even the dispicable guy who bullied me last year which started this whole misconduct allegation against me, gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my dad and spend 4 very special months with him. If he hadn't of bullied me I would have been stuck working on a ship somewhere in the world, hearing about his unexpected death by email.
As they say, don't let the b@$tards get you down! 
Ps... I can't sleep! 24/29 for me today 🤗
