Ok, I don't know where to start with my life. Basically I cannot work due to my health. I have: chronic anxiety, chronic depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, hyperhidrosis, fibromyalgia, agoraphobia, chronic IBS, hidradenitis suppurativa and I'm pre diabetic. It all started with post natal depression after I had my son 7 years ago and has developed from there. The cause of my depression is my "mum" and my childhood. My hubby is my rock and supports me through it all and has stuck by me through my childhood and illnesses. But, he has become a bit dependant on alcohol these last couple of years. He also has a shopping addiction. He works full time and then comes home and cares for me. He doesn't have any qualifications or GCSE's at all, so he is stuck in his job as there is nothing else that he could do or want to do (he is outside everyday and loves being outside). With his shopping habits, i find it very hard to say no as I don't have the strength. It can make him be in a bad mood (mood swings are awful because of alcoholism) and I just cannot cope with bad moods or anger etc. We have got very bad credit scores and cannot get a loan or anything to pay off our debts. We owe £15,000 in debt and pay £650 a month for it all (various credit cards and catalogues). I am seeking help through charities, but I just know that I will get threatening letters through the post and that makes me panic. Hubby earns just over £1100 a month and we get certain benefits to help as we have such a low income each month. Sorry, I know my situation isn't half as bad as both of yours and I'm probably just being stupid as usual.
