Newbie and confused

[LilBnMe]

I'm only new to this and don't even know where to start but I know that I need help in finding out why I get angry most of time and have such a short fuse. I'm also a stress head, feel like I have ocd at times and some form of depression but honestly I have no idea what's wrong with me. I know I need help but don't know where to start.

Hi Lil,

Welcome to the forum!

There are some great fact sheets and resources on this site. They can be found from Get support and The facts from the blue menu bar at the top of the website homepage. Feel free to have a look at the different sections of this forum. There are sections for Young People, Women, Men and Older People, for Anxiety, Depression and so on. Starting in the Welcome section was a good idea 🙂 You can post more about what you're going through in another section of the forum too, if you'd like.

The best place to start when you are overwhelmed by your mental health is your doctor (GP). They are a great first port-of-call. Some GP's know quite a bit about mental health conditions, and they can offer advice on how to stay well. Your doctor can refer you to a psychologist or other professional, if you need further help. Psychologists are very kind and understanding people. I've been to a few before, and have only had positive experiences.

I hope you find this forum community helpful 🙂

Best wishes,

SM

dear Lil, nice to have on board.
You can ask any particular question to us as you like that maybe a way of getting you of the ground, and I have had OCD for 56 years combined with depression for such a long time, been divorced, had a drinking problem and all the associated issues that are involved here, so you are welcome to start from here. Geoff.

Thank you for your concern. I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed of what I'm feeling. Once my daughter goes back to school, I'm going to go see a psychologist through my work. I've been procrastinating for a while to see one and I guess by setting up this profile, it's a step for me to get some help.

My name is Kelly by the way. My profile name LilB (my daughter) and me 😊

Thanks Geoff. I guess setting up this profile is a good start for me, there is a psychologist I can see through work so I might as well stop procrastinating and go see one as its free for so many sessions. Hope you're well.

Sorry my name is Kelly by the way.
