[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2336906, member: 85785"] About three months ago I was were you are now! I had just been made redundant. There was a list of other things all more or less attributed to covid and I'm not exaggerating my brain couldn't cope and what is called a breakdown, my head just cracked and I closed down and it was the most awful moment in my life, I just sat down in the back garden and couldn't move, I couldn't think and I felt like I couldn't go on, I didn't want to face the next minute, I wanted the world to stop, to go back as if life hadn't done this to me. Why? What for? What did I do? Why me? I have an excellent work record. My dream job just dumped me. I couldn't except what had happened. I couldn't comprehend the experience I was going through, I closed down. I wanted everyone and every day problems would go away and leave me alone. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder because I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to get through it, I was a failure, I let my family down, I was growing more introvert and on my own. My anxiety was really bad, I was worried about everything and everyone, my family has a few who have had to shield because of age and underlying conditions, all my children are on the front line, and I have seven grandchildren and lots of cousins, nephews, nieces on both sides of the family, I'm an uncle to about fifteen, I have a large family, and we are close, as this virus continues, im becoming more isolated which is not helping. So you see, my life ended as such as it was. I had two sides to my brain, my family and my sport. They took away my dream job in sport, and I had nothing to replace it. One part of my conscious was void, I only had family, and because of covid I couldn't see them! I have struggled so much to get to a point, where now from the despair of not being useful, I now see the way ahead and I have to just hang in there a little while longer and, my life after covid is gonna be a lot better. I do know what is going on with you and it does seem too much, but the alternative is worse not only for you but your family,. You do really need to talk to your medical team and get the help like what I got which was unbelievable. Just talking to someone will help. Get your brain working, get your health sorted and move forward. There are a lot of people out there who are worse off. There are a lot of people out there who have asked for help, why not you?
