I will jump onto here and scroll through Friday funnies. Have a laugh at some of the things that have been posted in the past. Also wise words is good to check out. Especially if you’re having a sleepless night

Hopefully you have been in touch with the Helpline and or a Counsellor to help with coping mechanisms.
Once a defined treatment plan is in place hopefully a sort of calm will descend upon you
Take care
