Hello everyone
This is my very first post, but I have read these boards for ages now and it amazes me how supportive you all are.
I have had a massively difficult two years with lots of money worries, worries regarding my children and to top it off, last month I had to close my hairdressing business.
At one point I had several part time jobs just to keep the wolf from the door.
I have been struggling on, through thick and thin, keeping on a brave face to the world whilst inside I am in pieces. I feel like I'm swimming through treacle just to get through the day. People around me probably would never know.
I have a wonderful partner who is always supportive but he works away in Ireland a lot so a big part of the time it's just me.
I look at others and wonder why things are so easy for them (although common sense tells me that it's not, everyone has their problems)
I have no problem sleeping, in fact I'm sooo tired all of the time and when I wake up, I don't feel refreshed at all.
I am worried if I talk about everything to a doctor I will just go on, and on, and on as it's all waiting to explode.
Anyway. Last few days I have felt even more weighed down if that's possible. Seems I lose my thread halfway through a sentence or forget what I'm doing. I feel on the brink of collapse.
Has anyone else felt like this? What did you do? I have never been on any medication for anything like this so am a bit worried the doctor will think I'm a fraud - as I say, I seem fine on the outside, almost like I'm acting a part.
Advice wise people.
