I'm at the end

[bakingberry]

I can't cope anymore. Lockdown has been so bad for me. My mental health is always weak and lockdown means I'm thinking about passed abuse and trauma constantly.

I've tried to get support before from my GP but I just get sent away. I'm so angry that I've managed to get this far and didn't demand support years ago when I needed it.

It's only going to get worse now as I'm going to be told 'I'm feeling a bit down because I've had to work from home for a few months and I'll feel better when I get into the office'.

I'm so sorry, OP. Would you consider going back to your GP? If not, could you afford private counselling? The website below offers webcam counselling for around £44 for 50 mins (the website is irish so prices are in euros but they offer help to everyone, regardless of location).

Thank you. I will check them out.

Can you self refer in your area? It’s possible now in lots of areas and often means filling in an online form rather than ringing - if that’s easier?

Or does your employer have an employee support scheme?

I hope you can get the support you need.
