Headspace the app is sound too. Dead easy to follow and without all the spiritual stuff that puts some people off.

Had a few cans last night and got a decent 6 hours sleep so have felt a bit better today. Not my preferred long term method but I'll make sure it doesn't happen often. Got a fairly torrid day lined up tomorrow so not expecting much sleep. But I'll try to be NEA about it. I've reignited my career change plans tonight which were going quite well up until the injury. Trying to give myself things to look forward to.

Spoke to my doctor about six weeks ago. Been on pills since then and feel so much better, also my wife and kids are seeing a better side of me. My wife has been telling me to see somebody for a few years. Speak out, my doctor has been ace, feel so much better. SPEAK OUT. Well worth it. Been reading this thread and it's helped. Cheers.
I don't know if anyone remembers when my daughter started seeing her father again and my husband taking it badly, well this evening my husband has been taken into custody. He has had a really bad few weeks and has totally flipped these last couple of days. He has been up for two days solid, doesn't eat, just drinks jack Daniels. He has become quite intimidating so this evening I left with my daughter for a couple of hours to return to the house this evening. I thought he was in bed, but when I went up to change into my night clothes he had disappeared leaving the back door open and front door unlocked. I was so worried and there were a few kids in the streets and asked if they has seen where he went, they said he was thumping cars and walked down the road. I phoned other police to see if they had him in custody but had to make a full report. Well they phoned me back half an hour later and said that he has been picked up and couldn't tell me anything further. I am now here worrying myself sick.
I have been with my husband for 10 years and he is normally of good character, but these last few weeks, he has been so different. I am in such a mess in regard to this, I just want him back to his old self. I hope he hasn't hurt himself.

You really are amazing worrying about him after all he has put you through, more than worrying about yourself.
Hope it works out.
But he needs help.
What a bad place to be. The problems are of his own making and it is really difficult for you to help him overcome his insecurities. The hardest part must be for your daughter - she is entitled to see and know her real father but if your husband can only come to realise there is a world of difference between being a father and a DAD then the healing can begin.
Afraid to say it but your daughter must accept some responsibility to aid this process by reassuring your husband that he is still the most important person in her life other than you and father is just an acknowledgement of her roots and nothing more.
Likewise, your husband needs to put down the bottle to learn to realise this and avoid using it as a crutch.
Apologies if this is not more eloquently put but l hate to see you as a victim of other peoples insecurities x

Hi mate.
Not passing judgement here in anyway, but I hope they didn't just lock him up for the night until he was sober ?.
He needs professional help, not just sobering up for the night.

Thought I'd give an update.
Saw my GP again yesterday. I've been having anxiety attacks, the last one was last Wednesday and it was quite bad. I recognised the signs and left my desk until it started to settle. The doctor has been really supportive and I feel really comfortable talking to him. He gave me a low dose of diazepam (sp?) for the panic attacks, hoping I don't need to take them. I know that they are short term and for the VERY bad times.
Hoping to start counselling soon. Really hope that it helps. I've got so much to live for and just want to enjoy it without this anxiety weighing me down.

I remember your post. It's a very sad situation. Your husband is lucky to have you and with your support he has a chance to turn this around.
Keep posting. It's important to get things off your chest.
Your doc shouldn't prescribe them for more than 10- 14 days max mate.
You should've been given a date to go back in with your prescription ?
They will work beautifully, but really really are for short term use only, as they are horrendously habit forming.
Don't be scared to take them short term or in isolation for emergency situations though.

That's pretty much what I've been told. I'm well aware of the dangers, the danger of coming to rely on them. I'm looking at it as a short term solution until I can start counselling.
They will make you feel completely normal again. The anxiety will just wash away.
It can be a bit scary to start with, as you almost forget what it's like to feel normal.
They work immediately and don't need a " build up " period like anti depressants.
Like I said, don't be scared of them, just use as instructed and they will help you enormously in the short term

Been away for a few months from here. It's done me good to be honest. Still not 100%, probably 80-90%, but I'd rather that than 120% one day and 20% the next. Middle ground is where it's at.
Hope everyone is well and if not getting the treatment and love they need and deserve.
