    Sending her an Email

    So at the moment I am a week away from finishing up my college internship and becoming a nurse (holy shit). Today I am going through all my college stuff to see what I want to keep and as I am a psychiatric nurse I have made a resource folder for myself. This folder is stuff that will help me help others that need it (self esteem handouts, assessment sheets and so on). A section of the stuff I have is resources I got from the college counsellor when I was in first year that I used for anxiety, depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts. It was just showing me how far I have come and wow.

    I was thinking of sending the college counsellor an email to tell her how I was getting on and thanking her for her help. Would this be a little odd. With how far I have come I still get anxious over silly things.

    Take care

    My vote is write the note. I would be as candid as you feel comfortable with, taking into consideration the closeness of the relationship at the time. But writing someone to tell them they helped save your life, and to thank them? Hell yes. I think it's a great idea.

    A note wouldn't harm anyone, it just lets her know she's helped someone and is doing her job great something that is never insignificant to that individual.

    In no way is this odd, and I'm not just saying that. It really isn't. A thank you note, especially for someone who really helped you a bunch, goes a long way. Do it!

    I agree that it would be appreciated and isn't all that odd. My partners mother works in teaching and gets thank yous (and the odd gift/flowers) at the end of every year.
