Isolation by Siena [written reflection]

Isolation

Imagine you’re in an extremely difficult, sad and vulnerable time in your life. Sitting in a lonely hotel room, access to leave and transport maybe, but constantly trapped in your own thoughts. You’re either numb or you feel too much, a connection isn’t a magic fix to all the problems but a phone call can change your thoughts for the day or even just a while. It is so important to actually be connected not just told to call when you need something. A phone call from a worker just to check in and genuinely sound invested in my wellbeing was imperative. I only wish they called more often.

Forever grateful for a caring worker.
