Hi
I don't know how many men would post on here but here goes..
I have a beautiful, kind, loving wife who is also the most amazing mother.
We have an 8,4 and 3 month old.
I have myself had struggles with various mental health problems since my teens and people have struggled to diagnose my condition, it turns out I have severe social anxiety and on Monday decided that this partnered with using Alcohol and Recreational Drugs to numb the pain and try to be a different person and after the second time of my wife finding out about my drug taking, have finally admitted I have a problem and have sought some help and am now with the crisis team.
I just wanted to post as yesterday, for the first time ever I would have been happy to relieve myself and other people of this exhausting merry go round and also me always trying to be another person.
That's me and I feel so sorry for other people who have been in or near this situation, my advice is get some help before it's too late, you'll lose everything. Thanks for reading, a tired, emotional but determined young man.
