My recovery through anxiety and depression.

"My recovery through anxiety and depression."

About: New Access Darling Downs (Lives Lived Well)

(as a service user),

I was encouraged to contact the New Access program by my doctor after prolonged depression, stress and anxiety. My life was on a downward spiral with little motivation or energy.

I began weekly phone sessions with my coach Paula and with Paula’s expert guidance I began to understand my feelings and was given strategies to identify my problems and to plan my recovery through setting goals and positive behaviours.

I have become a happy person now with a lot of newfound energy, good motivation and new skills to keep me that way. I looked forward to my weekly sessions with Paula, she was compassionate and I always felt so much better afterwards. Thank you so much, I am a new me.

Dear Noworriesforme,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you are, and how you found New Access! I will pass your praise on to Paula:)

It sounds like you have managed to turn things around and you should be very proud of yourself. Recognising that you need help is the key to starting the journey to recovery, and you did that.

At Lives Lived Well we believe that with the right tools people can change their lives. It is so good to hear that you were able to identify issues, set goals and work on positive behaviours with Paula guiding you all the way.

Well done - and always reach out if you feel like you require additional support.

Kind regards,

Lara
