I have been depressed and living with anxiety for years. The past 2 weeks have been almost unbearabl

Alot of my issues stem from my health and poor joints. I have been diagnosed with cancer 2 different types 2 separate times over the past 15 years. One was testicular cancer and the other was kidney cancer. I have had both knees scoped and have no cartlidge left and live in pain every step. My left shoulder was recently redone also. I had a rotator cuff tear and tendon tears. In my left foot I have a torn achillies and been in and out of a boot for the last 6 months. I have spinal stenosis and a numb left leg. I have been receiving injections every three months to help with pain. I recently lost a job I was at for 20 years and I am now on my 3rd job trying to find a happy healthy place to work. This is the first job were I'm in the customer service industry and I am terribly failing due to my anxiety. I just break out in sweats when I'm under pressure. It also is a wharehouse job and the lifting and constant running to pick orders is not the best for all of my health issues. I dread waking up every Day and going to work knowing that at the end of the day I will be stuck in my chair trying to recover and be ready for the next day. I can't sleep knowing that when I wake up in have to go to a job that I physically can't do. I have alot of family problems from when I grew up. My sister and I were both sexually assaulted by a family member for many years growing up. I have never told anyone or ever talked about it before this is the first time. I see him everyday and it is so hard trying to function around him.. that is a whole new book I could write. I have a beautiful wife a 4 beautiful kids that love very much. Alot of my worries are how I'm going to keep supporting them with all the issues I have. Right now I just want to climb in a hole and never come out..

Hi jeb....I totally agree with Gary....you do not avoid work, but sadly being employed is putting both your body and mind under a tremendous strain....which will almost certainly exacerbate your conditions....

Please...please....please see your GP as soon as you can, you certainly would be entitled to help both with a better pain relief regime....and also financially to take the terrible worry off you....

It is not a failing to say that YOU CANNOT CARRY ON ANYMORE....your health has to.....and must !!! Come first, for both yourself and your loved ones....

So please jeb....if possible see someone TODAY.....

I wish you so much luck, happiness, and sincere peace of mind....you soooo deserve it....big warm hugs ...always ...take care each....dee xxx

You can recover, you know you can, but don't want to believe it for some reason.

Maybe because you're afraid that after you recover you won't know what to do .

You are worth it to recover, your mind can do wonders if you believe it. Try it. Imagine your self fully healed, and what things you could do and you wanted to do.

So I made a appointment to see my doctor today at noon. I want nothing more than to be healthy and happy and I hope this is a start down the right path for once. I called work this morning and told them I needed the day off for a Dr's appointment and that I'm having trouble with my foot. I just hope that I can get out of this funk and finally find some piece.
