How are you getting on mate ?

Hey, thanks so much for this. means a lot.

i'm finding it hard to battle against the fear of doing anything. i've been walking more, trying to convince myself that as hard as life is, it'll be a whole lot harder if i continue to hide.

I've been to see 2 flats but they weren't right for me. i'll view more next week and just try to keep the stupid avoidant thoughts a bit quieter. which for me, is almost impossible.

Viewing those flats and all that goes with it, is going to keep you busy mate, which is a good thing, as you`ve got no choice but to go out and talk with people, even if it is just letting agents !

yeah you're right. years sat in the dark avoiding everything wasn't as safe as i kidded myself into believing. Massively damaging and it was inevitable that one day it would explode in my face.

I know life isn't easy for most people. I know mine isn't now and may not get much better, but i have to try for the sake of my 9 year old daughter who deserves a dad and i deserve her.

Even if you think it`s stuff and nonsense, keep posting mate, as it`s always good to get stuff out in the open and off your chest

Sorry.bad thoughts this weekend. Pathetic wallowing embarrassment. Feeling sorry for myself but it's so incredibly hard for me to get past what other people would see as a tiny, barely inconvenient fear/anxiety issue.

Bud I think it’s time to just bite the bullet and get in touch with your GP. It’s a scary move but you don’t sound like you’re gonna come through this solo right now.

I went on Thursday. He wouldn't give me anything. I have eosinophilic asthma. He said any type of beta blockers or similar isn't good for me. He gave me 25mg antihistamines to take before bed to make me drowsy.

My family care but they're very much, you've just gotta get on with it and don't get it.

I meant more to speak to someone about therapy mate, not for insomnia or anything. Just chatting to a professional can really help. I think most people in this thread have or do go to someone and I bet most started going way later than they should have.

I did ask but he never said anything about it. He just said he'd call me in 2 weeks to see how I am.

Sorry for the drama mate

Mate never apologise haha, this is what this thread is for, just giving some advice but glad you asked. Sounds weird they wouldn’t refer you or anything though. Maybe when they check back in you can push more to be referred.

I can echo this mate.

Don’t hold back, tell the GP everything.

It’ll be hard bearing your soul, but the more info they have, the more they should be able to do for you.

This thread's amazing by the way, well done to all - for both caring and sharing.

You're all diamonds. Shine on.

When i went first and was struggling i wrote everything down before I went . Found it easier and wouldn’t forget stuff or back out of saying things.
