No one knows when they might need support but some points to remember are:
- life demands and stressors are often unexpected or unpredictable
- there are times when your stressors will increase in intensity
- seeking support is important and not a reflection of weakness or inexperience
- hesitating to seek support as early as possible may result in your health deteriorating further
- your health concerns can impact directly on those you care about the most, and
- looking after your health, and the health of your patients is what really matters.
