I honestly think you need to go see a pro Will, before you make yourself ill or damage yourself. We have a friend with issues that are several steps further along the line of illness than what I imagine you are, she's found a professional doctor, and he's prescribing realistic treatment as opposed to drugs, one example is catch the train to see a friend for the day etc - confidence building exercises that are making a genuine improvement in her health and quality of life. These doctors have seen all sorts of issues, and are there to help.
Got mum to speak to my doctor and that say they will review my tablets I'm on. But that prob won't happen. I'm at stage now I just go outside when have to. Everytime I go out to sheep or do job either something else is dead or sick suddenly or something's broke that wasn't me that broke it

You need to get off the tablets. Is there a Young Farmers movement near you or youth organisation? I honestly think some interaction with some people your own age will help you a lot.

Thanks. At start summer was ok and felt better than ever but things just built up more and more and one problem after the other with the sheep and farm didn't help and not helping me focus as just waiting for next problem to turn up
Young farmers groups all around but never was well enough to sit in room and chat in afraid. Haven't been out of house at night for weeks and weeks. Find I can't make myself go out visiting as I be to concerned about certain jobs the next day. Silly I know

You can't treat yourself through your mother. You have to go and speak to a doctor yourself I'm afraid. You need help to go to see him by the sounds of things , so ask for help from someone. If you can't do that , then for the sake of your health , phone your doctor and explain to him how you are feeling.
If you seriously do have a problem , then no-one on here can help you , only medical people can. Asking the members on here is not going to help I'm afraid , we're not doctors and we're not qualified to how the mind works.
Speak to your doctor , please , for your own sake.

Will.
I don't think I've replied to any of your posts, but feel that I know a bit about you, as I've been reading about your situation for some time.
Try to remember and accept, that in life, law of averages will say that things are going to go wrong from time to time - even more so with sheep. And I guarantee you, that all of the members on here, will have gone through a period whereby they've got the opposite to the MIDAS touch, and for a period, everything they did, touch or thought about went t*ts up. I sometimes fell that I have this situation on a continuous loop. There's no way of avoiding this, but if you can take yourself out of the situation and try to look at things in an impartial way, you'll see that there some things that you can do, to try and alter things or reduce the chances of something negative occurring.
Do you vaccinate your ewes/lambs Will? If so, then why do you? I do. The reason why I vaccinate with Heptavac P is to reduce the chances of them kicking the bucket, due to a clostridial disease. There's no 100% guarantee that they won't die from it or from something else, but you've done the best you can to avoid being in that situation. Not the best analogy I accept, but you get my drift.
What strikes me about you Will, is that you're knowledgeable and intelligent- that comes across very clearly in the questions you ask and the proof of the pudding would be in the photos of your stock. I'd also say that with everything you're going through, you're quite a resilient chap and although I strongly sense that you're not a loud-mouth lout, I would say that there's a lot of quiet determination within you.
What Wally said, is spot-on.
Do you feel Will, that physically going to the GP surgery, and discussing your situation, feelings, goals and medication, with the doctor, is something that is achievable to you?

I know you dont want to hear it but you would be much better out of farming. I have heard many people say when they left farming their personality changed, for the better.
Thanks for ur comments. And for listening to my previous posts from time to time. I struggle with going into town and talking to new people face to face at times. Haven't physically been to doctors for years as can't handle the waiting room and they're that busy that they can't say to come at quiet time as they don't know when that'l be and i understand that.
With the sheep they get there heptavac booster and lambs got it in summer to but still had a spell August/September time I was finding a new dead lamb every day at least for a week. Brought lambs inside and were in for 6 weeks nearly and didn't grow a kg even wth silage and nuts. We're wormed and fluked also multivitamins. Yet still had ones dying on me. Then sheep are the only really thing I have to be proud of and them having such bad year isn't helping as just was constant all summer. And carried on into tupping time

It's not silly, Will, it could be very serious.
Get on top of it please. I think it's time to think of yourself and forget the others, just for a while.
The possible consequences of not doing so don't bear thinking about.

I understand that, but take your turn in the front seat and take the wheel.

Do you have family or friends here?
It's never too far to do yourself a bit of good.
