I'm in my late 30's and I've been tackling my low self esteem and depression with drink and drugs for about 20 years.
a year ago I finally made up my mind to speak to my GP and seek help.
Despite never having had time off work before. he shamed me into going back (i'd been off for a few weeks) by saying a man should be at work. since then I'd been waiting for an assessment and the treatment recommendation I've just been given is intensive therapy 5 hours a day, 5 days a week for 18 months.
As I work full time, i can't do this because they would stop paying me after six months. So after all the waiting and hoping I can be fixed, it's all been for nothing. Having the treatment will destroy my life, not having it means i'll destroy it myself.
Could do with a rock to crawl under
