Hi Ringo2008
It REALLY takes over your head doesn’t it? I bought some sleep aid. It did stop me being wide awake in the dark. Also I had the Olympics to watch if my mind wouldn’t shut up. I meditated/ hypnotist app on my phone. That really helped, I am visual learner so can drift easily with those apps. It gave my mind some breathing space
I really hope you have some news soon. If you get really anxious you could phone your team there should be a number on your paperwork I contacted mine a few times they were so supportive
