Mental Health

Looking for advice, I've struggled with depression and anxiety for years, I've always struggled to stay in one place for long and things really fell apart when my mum passed away in 2008, my Dad passed away in 2016 and i struggle with my head and my emotions, sometimes drinking too much. I feel i need to speak to a doctor and get signed off? I can't stop moving around, I've lived in 10 places this year alone

My condolences on the loss of your parents. Do you have siblings or other family members to offer support and encouragement?

So what advice do you want? I’d advise that you see a professional to speak about your anxiety and depression, although it depends who you see because not all are helpful. It can take trial and error to find one who understands you.

I recommend listening to Jordan Peterson. He’s helped many young men get back on their feet.

Maybe you need AA for your drinking problem.

Good luck!

You said it there in your main post.

...i need to speak to a doctor..

Recognising this need is huge. Making that initial call is so hard but it needs to be done. Just like e all need a little help periodically with our physical health it is the same with our mental health. Bereavement is hard. And time is not a healer. Their loss doesn't get less we just need to learn to live with the grief.

What country are you in?
