I used to suffer badly with depression. And I’ve battled with my anxiety this past year. I’ve managed to control my anxiety with tablets and after a job change etc. But this past few months have been tough and I’m scared of fallen back into it all. Found out my dad has a brain tumour and that my mum has been diagnosed with MS two weeks later.
It’s been hard as the dynamic at home isn’t great, the tumour affects my dads personality and he can be difficult to be around, as he can be nasty for no reason. I know he can’t help it but it doesn’t make it easier.
And I’ve just come out of my 4 year relationship.
I know there’s people with a lot more going on which makes me feel worse but I’m just not coping well at the moment.

It sounds as you are having such a difficult time at the moment. It must be really hard to cope with your own situation whilst struggling with both your Mum and Dad's health problems and your recent relationship break up. It will be natural that you will be vulnerable at this time.
Perhaps you could tell us more about how your depression and anxiety impacts on your situation and a little more about yourself?
You may need some time out to talk with friends or those you can trust. Perhaps you could talk with your doctor or support worker to get more help for you at this time?

I’ve started losing motivation completely, I really struggle getting out of bed. I’m finding it hard to focus at work and I’m on probation as it’s a new job, and I don’t want it to affect it as I really like working there.
Just feel tired all the time which isn’t helping.
I’m back getting paranoid all the time, people talking about me etc so I’ve stopped talking to people.
I’m 24 and was supposed to be moving out with my partner next year.
