Two weeks later I had seriously overspent, been in trouble with the police, not slept for more than two hours a night and marched over to the local hospital where I managed to avoid getting sectioned under the mental health act by the absolute skin of my teeth all because a reception worker tried to play psychiatrist.

Thankfully things have improved a little. I hope they do for you also.
I'm sorry you've had your problems also. I hope you are on the right track now.

I've been helped by some absolutely lovely people over the past year and a half, but I've also had a few pretty bad dealings too. It's very much hit and miss. Some of these people don't even smile at you.
