Thank you to everyone who answered my questions - first time posting

I have read this forum every day since I lost my job. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I feel calmer and more organised now. Anyone want to swap notes?

If you feel up to it, answering a new question is a great way to pay it forward.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
