I need help not questions on getting help!

Having many thoughts of wrongs I may have or not done. Was raised to be self reliant, fix things, now seems it's different. Seems I have all ways felt lacking in skills, but worked 37 years in industrial maintenance.

I grew up to be self-reliant because, being a single man, I had no-one to rely on, or ask for help, at a time when men were expected to be self-reliant.I had to push anxieties, and worries, aside. There wasn't the support of a partner, for practical or emotional help, and getting regularly posted around the country, from job to job, only added further stresses to that involved in rapidly learning a new, highly stressful job, whilst dealing with house selling and buying.

The regular noves meant that friends were lost, and in the time it took to make new ones, I was on the move again.

All of these stresses and strains had an impact upon my health, and as a consequence of this I ended up losing my job.

As my health deteriorated further, I found that the anxieties over living on a basic income found me getting worried about things that would never have bothered me in the past, and professional help was, if available, too little, too late.

I have to like it, or lump it; a rather bitter pill to take.

It is hard to gain confidence when thoughts of what you have done, need to do, should have would have could have.I have some PTSD over life and i have learned to say..this is the thought...here Lord take it. When it comes back i continue this....art therapy, journaling music, good scents, writing a story are avenues i use. No magic solution but all helpful. i was raised to be strong, not cry etc. many experiences good or not bring us to be us...choose us we are all individuals. make sure with docs that an imbalance isnt there. i personally have a genetic vit d defiency which leads to many illnesses and my MS,Finding that out changed my life in great ways.
