"Thank you to the volunteers at First Steps who have given me support via email, it is nice to know that other people can understand how I am feeling and how difficult it can be to be recover. I felt very lonely for a long time on my own with this illness and it is comforting to know I can email First Steps and get a constructive and positive answer which helps me get through my day. I haven’t had the courage to go to the group sessions but hope to one day."
