where do i start...
i think ive known for a good couple years that i may be suffering from some sort of anxiety or depression...
any ways, long story short , i wasnt turning up for work, and sleeping way more than i should, kind of hiding away i suppose, but it all came to a head when the lad ive been working for, went round to my parents and told them he was proper concerned about my well being.
my parents turned up at my place totally un announced and sat me down and we went through it all. its very hard to admit to how im feeling, my parents are proper old school as in 'a good weeks work and you'll be fine' kind of approach. however they said they had been concerned about me for some time and knew i wasnt myself.
for someone who never opens up to family or friends for that matter, i found it really difficult to talk about.
my parents sorted me an appointment at the docs last week, and i missed the first appointment as i just couldnt face going. i managed to get another appointment last friday and found myself in the docs room, telling how i was feeling.
ive been diagnosed with having depression and anxiety issues and put on some tablets and been asked to see a councillor.
the doc said the tablets would take about 3 weeks to kick in properly and i shouldnt put myself under too much pressure to work while im starting them.
i know its not a quick or easy fix, im just hoping they help me get re-motivated to get my life back on track after a really crap couple of years
