Hi everyone.
After almost 30 years suffering I am finally getting help.
Just before Xmas I finally diagnosed with GAD and last Wednesday admitted to my local psych ward to fast track the medication. Four days later and I am already feeling the effects in a good way.
But I have an issue. Apart from wife nobody knows where I am and why! So what do I tell friends and family. I feel my options are: -
1. Make up some plausible excuse
2. Tell people face to face one by one (this would be exhausting!)
3. Make a statement on Facebook!
Ultimately I do want to tell everyone as I want to help promote removing the stigma round mental health but I just am not sure how to go about it.
Any advice?
PS. Times like this makes me glad of the NHS!
