anxiety very high

Lately my anxiety is getting worse. I'm not coping with things very well. Have lost my licence for twelve months, which is very hard to deal with. My daughter is getting harder to control. My nerves are so bad I'm back on medication. I use smoking as a stress relief. I'm stuck with what to do. I'm still very depressed as well. Today I self harmed for the first time in ages. Feel like I've lost control. I really don't know how to get out of this dark phase

dear Jode, thanks for joining us, and sometimes posts like yours do get pushed onto the next page before we know it.

I have experienced the loss of my licence a few years ago where I lost it for 2 years, where I was in a terrible mess with depression, so it stranded me on a property 5 kms from town, so I did have a friend around the corner also on a property who drove me around, but sometimes his decision to help me out didn't come true in many regards.

I shouldn't say this because we were close friends, but he has passed away 5 years ago.

So this does put you in a predicament which makes life very difficult, and I would presume that this would be one problem that is annoying your daughter.

Can I ask you whether you lost your licence due to alcohol or perhaps by smoking, and by saying this I don't mean to upset you.

You say that you are back onto medication so you are seeing a doctor, but have they given you a medicare plan where you can have 10 free visits with a psychologist or a psychiatrist, and this would be a good idea to follow through with this, and then they will be able to tackle your self harming, which may give you some short term relief but long term damage.

I do hope that you have close transport so this won't make you feel closed in.

I also hope that you can get back to us. L Geoff. x
