Hello @Jayrob Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and sharing.
I am one of the team of community champions who guide, advise and help new members who join the forum.
Sorry to hear your not too good. I have mental health issues my self. Mainly anxiety and depression.
Please can I ask have you spoken about how you are to your Doctor.?
I know also finding the right support and advice to cope and deal with any issues you have. I know every day is difficult and not easy a struggle to deal with.
Please may I ask do you have any one supporting you with your issues?
Please if you do not may I suggest this mental health charity I used before. Something to consider.
