The difference we make…
It is without doubt that it was the support off you that made me continue to fight for recovery. I have done things this year I never dreamed I would manage for over 20 years. And I am doing a job I absolutely love. OCD at one time took so much from me, but through joining the charity I am now living a completely different life, personal and career wise.Ruth
