I was completely overwhelmed by feelings of grief, anger, guilt, lack of purpose. I was pushing away the people who were important to me in a way that I recognised as self-destructive. I was very depressed and recognised from a similar time in my life 25 years ago that I was in danger of becoming suicidal. Within 8 weeks Olive Branch had pulled me out and given me the strength to move forward into the future. My counsellor was understanding and very supportive, but also gently helped me to see what needed to change.
