Moving home - anxiety hit the roof

Hi all. I'm hoping someone out there could give me a bit of advice. We've been treated awfully by my Brother-In-Law to the point we have to leave the house we are renting from him and move in with friends. I am an absolute nervous wreck after the whole situation and can't seem to function. I feel physically sick and am shaking all the time (for the last four days). I'm dreading going to work tomorrow. Is it a case of I'm being pathetic and need to dust myself off and move on or do I need help? Would appreciate any advice Smile

Can you take tomorrow off sick? Also it's always a shock when someone is abusive. I think you should go to the doctor tomorrow and see if you can get signed off work and treatment for your anxiety. Although to be honest you're probably having a normal reaction to an extremely stressful and difficult time. Also it will give you some time to sort out some new housing. You've also had your home taken away which must be scary too. Definitely go no contact with your bil until you are strong enough to deal with him. Who's brother is he?

Hi, he's my wife's brother. He told us to pack up and f**k off by the weekend over a gas and electric bill that was his responsibility to sort (it states this in the tenancy agreement we have with him). He is to pay it and we are to reimburse once we've seen the statement. We've been asking him since November as I rang the supplier and they advised only he could do this; he hasn't. He then decided to do it this week and told us we had £350 in late fees to pay on top of the bill. He put my name on the account for the gas and electric (which I'm pretty sure he can't do due to "the landlord being responsible for the bills" ), which is going to affect my credit rating and we are going for a mortgage next month. He lied to the gas and electric company to put me as the account holder stating I was his partner when in actual fact I'm his Sister-in-law. He would not speak to me over the phone, I asked him to meet, he wouldn't and all we've had is abuse. We've now paid what we owe, leaving him to deal with the late fees and we're having to move out. I'm just utterly shocked. I can't call in sick tomorrow, just feel utterly stuck.

That sounds terrible.
Moving house is one of the most stressful life events (after death of a partner or divorce), but this makes it even worse.
Apply for the mortgage asap, as it might take a little while for this to get on your record, if it ever does. Can you check on a credit rating site?
Hope your anxiety reduces soon - you might find work distracting.
