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.

  • Random you know yourself the most pressing concern is supplying yourself with enough nutrients, food - it sounds like you are eating a meagre amount daily and it isn't doing you any good moodwise or otherwise is it?  Would you be able to weigh yourself?  That would give you an approximate figure of how much weight you've lost since this difficulty with food started.

    I can see how hard the depression and anxiety is for you - you must have been very stressed when you stopped eating at mealtimes.  You've got sensory issues with food - would you be alright with liquid nutrition (the one doctors prescribe)?   liquid meal replacements prescribed by the Dr would give you a quick boost of nutrition and energy until you're feeling less under-par.  

    You've stopped mirtazapine - and still having loss of appetite, has your sleep pattern changed at all?  It's a bit of a delicate situation - you stopped one AD and started another - it's a different set of outcomes and side-effects.   With best wishes,
