Dear Cheryl,

Your problems are not small compared to others - we do not compare here - they engulf your life and, as such, are as important to us as they are to you.

In 2012 I was at my Darkest place and told my caring GP I was at the point of ending it. Understand I have enough meds in my house to take down an elephant and I did not, at that time, share any of my problems. I still do not know why I reached out.

Within 4 days I was in Counselling and it got me through that chapter. THAT is the caring response you should be receiving from your Doctor and the Team. Anything less than that is negligence towards one calling out for help.

Please follow BMW's advice, even make an appointment to see your GP specifically for this matter.

In the mean time, do come here and Post. We are not Professionals but we have all lived it.

I am very sorry about the loss of your brother, being a double Cancer survivor I know what a devastating disease it is.

Dave.
