It was good to get a lot of appreciation from this young person for helping them. It seems such a simple thing for me but it really seems to help others a LOT. I'm amazed sometimes what kindness can do.

Focusing on the negative will depress you. One thing I did to help with depression is keep a checklist of things to do when I felt down: call a friend, call a loved one to encourage THEM, go for a walk, eat fruits and veggies, read a book, go for a bike ride, etc. Things like that, then I chose to do those things despite how I felt.

There wasn't a lot that I disliked about the task. The task accommodated my needs to express my concerns, and the peer-supporter was absolutely fantastic.
There isn't much. The peer-supporter interview was very hard to filter out those who are just here for the money. Very good service indeed.

Sleep Problems
Feelings of sadness, disappointment, or hopelessness can be a healthy reaction to life’s challenges. Normally, these feelings come in waves, are tied to thoughts or reminders of challenging situations, only last for a short period of time, and don’t interfere with school, work, or relationships.

Explain that you are giving them the opportunity to stop harassing you in the following ways [list some of the details you have documented]. Inform them that if they do not stop, you are considering taking it further regarding harassing communications and that this letter serves as your intention to no longer tolerate their actions.
