@Owlunar I can't actually 'talk' - can't get words out verbally - so have spent some time on helpline chat. It has been invaluable some days when I have been really struggling. I also 'catch-up' regularly with one mod which is great because they know exactly where I'm 'at', my history etc. It makes a big difference when you don't have to explain too much or give too many details as they already know those things. 

Have done the email back and forth thing a bit too. All of it does make a difference - even a small difference helps.
