Take Benzos. You and I are 60. I take them as needed. It helps me to think straight and not focus on the negative.

I know they are addictive. But it will allow you to relax enough to deal with your issues.

Hi I know many people do this but I think if you don't know anyone there it can be a mistake as it's very hard to start again.

Why don't you move back to your home where your friends are? x

hi efishman - this is an unresolved trauma stemming from childhood. Have you been referred for post traumatic stress disorder? You need professional help - someone who is experienced . You need to look online at the mental health experts online linked to NHS.

Some do work in |NHS| and in their private work they list their specialties. You can find one that specialises in your problem from the NHS linked private work. Hope you find the right person - as if you have an inexperienced person - a registrar you might find it makes you feel worse. If you can't sleep - try a sleeping pill to help you get back to normality.
