Hi,
I've been suffering with what I've self diagnosed as general anxiety.
At the end of 2012, we (me and my wife) had a lightbulb moment with our poor finances, which were in a poor state, consolidated and moved on. Long story short, we have a 7 year plan (nearly two years in now) to steady the ship pay off debts and get on an even keel.
The process of consolidating nearly finished me off, as I convinced myself we would be turned down to refinance (we weren't) and immediately after this whole sorry affair, there was a massive restructure at work, and I convinced myself I'd lose my job (I didn't)
Now, I read the news looking for problems in my industry, and end up convincing myself I'm going to lose my job, I blow up the tiniest things, and try to predict the future.
Frankly I'm tired. I havent been to the GP, and I don't know if I can. It's almost like admitting this f****g thing has beaten me, and I constantly feel like crying. My chest hurts, my stomach is like a washing machine, and the worry of not being able to complete what we've put in place is crippling.
Tried lots of self help stuff, but it never really lasts.
anyway, hi.
