Hi I am new to this and a bit lost

[Carol_dearest]

Hello all, I hope some gets to read this. I have multiple problems. I am an involuntary diazepam addict-over 30 years. I have chronic anxiety and depression. I am agorophobic. I have an undiagnosed phobia of food. I am a recovering alcoholic and now addicted to lemonade!!! I have a sense of humour, I don't know why as I don't have much to laugh about. It seems that the NHS finds me invisible so I just keep taking the tablets, although about 8 years ago I went through the darkest moments of my life when I came off diazepam. After 2 years of being in almost constant terror, my GP put me back on them. I self medicated with alcohol. 2 years ago I layed on the sofa and haven,t moved since. I live in hope though as I have so much to live for. I just wish I could find the help I need. Thanks for reading this. I would so much like to make some friends and share experiences and help.
Carol.
