Hello!
Right, my two pence worth!
1) Go see your GP as in make an appointment tomorrow to see someone this week! Even if it’s an emergency appt do it!
2) prescription drugs can, do, and most probably will help, but don’t think you pop a pill and will feel great! What they do is just even out the roller coaster of ups and downs ( or just downs) they do take a little while to kick in but bear with it if your given them. I fought it for a long time, finally my GP said if you had an infection would you take antibiotics? If you broke your arm would you have it put in plaster of course I said yes, she asked why was this different? They won’t be forever, but it’s just a help to get through. It sounds like youve been under a bit of pressure for a while for your Debt and you’re clearing it but you’ve prob worn yourself down, and that’s when the good old black dog comes and sits on your lap!!
3) google Mind, they do free workshops and you can often get on one quite quickly.
4) if you can try to speak to someone please do do (yes you will likely have to pay) if Im honest it saved my life speaking to my chap. If you’re in the Southampton area I’ll point you in his way. If we had not moved to the other end of the country I’d still see him ever one or two months at least!
5) can you take even a week off maybe a long weekend just a Monday or a Friday to chill?
6) yes this made me cringe and turn my eyes to the heavens when it was first said to me but it’s true! “Be Kind to yourself!!” Cut yourself some slack, sleep well eat well, get some exercise even a 20 min walk in the park. Remember you’re actually poorly, like having an illness, it’s just this you feel but can’t see the symptoms. That’s ok it’s ok to feel this way, you will get better and you will get back to yourself.
It’s a shit thing to deal with mate but you’re not alone in doing so.
Finally this I always though made sense and helped to explain it to myself and often others. Thinking of ya mate.
