“Taking some reflective time offline these last few weeks was really important for me.
“I have been spending time with my family and friends, living in the present and trying to focus on the things that matter most.
“Working in A&E has also been a helpful focus, the love and support from my friends and colleagues has meant the world to me and I am thankful to them all.
“I’m sure there will be ups and downs to come but I am glad to be back on here – this community we have built together means a lot to me and I am grateful for you all.”
