Hi I’m a newbie

[Tryinhard]

Feel like my life is spiraling out of control. I’ve made some very poor decisions now I might be facing a jail sentence. Diagnosed with depression at 16, older I get the more anxious I get.

Hi Tryinhard,

I'm sorry you feel this way, but I think you've come to a good place to get some support, these online forums are really helpful and the people are very kind and want what's best for you.

You said you were diagnosed at 16, how old are you now? are you still getting treatment? do you have a psych that you get on well with?

Maybe you could provide some more information so we can get a better idea of what sort of situation you are in?

I hope to hear from you soon,

Julia

Hi Tryinhard, sorry to hear about what's going on. I would also love to know how old you are and if you're currently seeking treatment. Having a psychologist you really click with is important especially if you're having a hard time. I really like this app for anxiety called Booster Buddy, it's really helped me with anxiety in the past.

Hi, thanks for the messages. I’m 47 now and have been attending counselling sporadically. When things get to close I tend to stop going. Now I’m attending a lady and am determined to see it through to the end. I left my husband 4 years ago, I just fell out of love. Financially things where difficult as I left with my 3 kids and my clothes and a couch, I signed everything over to him. I felt guilty for leaving and putting my kids through everything. I started online gambling which got out of control. I started to steal money from work which has now resulted in my boss finding out, I’m unemployed and the Police arenrequesting me to attend for an interview. I can’t stop crying there seems no way out. I accept I done wrong but I’m so scared and anxious, I don’t even go out to local shops until night time for fear of seeing my ex boss or people who worked at the company. Once again I’ve put my kids through hell. What is wrong with me

Hi All, 

This is similar to another thread going on, so we are going to close it off.
