I am having a really hard time right now. My wife has been wanting me to get on medication for some time now. Last night at work I worked up the courage to schedule an appointment for this afternoon. The closer to time it was for me to go the closer to a full blown breakdown I came. I ended up not going & I feel horrible about it now. I have really disappointed my wife and I feel like I can't even look at her right now. I am at work now and will be getting off in about 30 minutes. I don't want to go home l, but I don't know where to go. It is 1 am here and there is no where I can go until she leaves for work in the morning. If I had the money to spend I would just rent a room for the night. Although that's not a good idea because I may end up killing myself if I did that. I don't really need to be alone but I don't know where to go.

hey - its ok man, you made an attempt and wasn't able to do it this time

you can do it though, dont beat yourself up over one attempt ok?

its really hard trying to face these things... going to the doctor is like kind of confirming with your subconcious that hey maybe i do have a problem?

its scary .... but i know you can do it, you want help but you are just anxious...
thats completely understandable, i have been trying to deal with doctors for... uuhh... i dunno like 6 years now and its still a struggle... but i've learned a couple tricks to get myself to "just do it "

"just do it" because i really do want to feel better...
"just do it" because i really do want to get better for my wife
"just do it" because ----- fill in the blanks you know...?

just keep repeating positive things about why you need to do it...
the whole time if you have to, i'll be sitting in the doctors office considering if i should just leave before they call me... but i always trick myself to stick around until they call me - then you get in with the doctors and they are generally really understanding

if i can do it, you can do it mate i never thought i would work up the courage to actually do it... but i did it one day - because i was getting so bad

its be ok mate !! you have to try again and again and again, dont look at the fails, it happens to all of us

I don't know. I guess the best way to describe it is hopeless. I managed to get home and not wake up mY wife. So I didn't have to deal with that.
It's just everytime I seek help at best it doesn't turn out good. At worst it goes horribly wrong.
