Having a difficult time

Hi,

I am in a really bad way at the moment, I get these really deep spells with my anxiety and depression. What is triggering it is something I am sure many will find trivial, but I just can't settle myself.

My social worker gave me goal of selling some things. There were a couple of things I purchased earlier in the year, but lost receipt. Anyway I thought I was ask the store to see if they would give me a credit note. From a lengthy discussion over email, I was told manager agreed to give credit note at lowest price which I asked to confirm in an email.

When I returned them to the store, the manager was awkward, so I came pre-prepared with printout of the email, as I know I would find it difficult. She asked me when I bought them, I said with past three months. So she then decided to deduct a further value because of some promotion which was on which I never used.

It really affected me badly, and I didn't know what to do. I was furious, then I decided the price was too low and to leave it. Then I discovered the manager when she checked the item had not been careful handling them, and had holed the box of the back of one item. I collect these and condition is critical, I carefully placed both on the desk to check.

I asked if they would replace that set, but was refused. I didn't know what to do, in the end I felt I had no choice but to accept the lower value. I was so angry because I had gone to great lengths to check everything with customer services before hand, and they had already discussed it with this manager who responded I would receive credit for lowest value, which I asked her to confirm.

She made some odd comment that I was not giving her much information, but I had explained everything in an email in great detail.

I am worried about how deeply this had affected me, after leaving the store, I went to do my grocery shopping. At one point I felt like I was just going to collapse. I just got more anxious and couldn't cope. I drove home, just shouting all the way back, and didn't realise until it was too late that I was in a speed camera area, and was driving at wrong speed, just after i passed camera.

I know this is something trivial to a lot of people, I have many other problems which are more serious. I can logically see that, but my feelings are totally disjointed.

    Feeling exhausted, so just trying to rest at the moment.

    I have had a change of medication recently to fluoxetine, maybe that is affecting me. I am getting headaches, I did phone nhs 111 number for advice last night. 

    My appetite has been badly affected to the point I am not eating much. I thought this was down to the drug I was on (mirtazepine). I had a lady come round to cut my hair this morning, and she mentioned that I had lost a lot of weight from when she last visited me several weeks ago.

    I think I may have been pushing myself too hard, selling things has caused a lot of anxiety and stress, still at a time when I have not recovered back to work full time. Hence the need to raise some money.

    I had planned a long drive to London this weekend to buy something, but have cancelled that. 

    A neighbour mentioned a bus tour on Sunday I am interested in, going to be five hours on the bus, I just don't feel up to it, but feel I am letting him down.
