Hey Johnny.
Tipp eh?! We're neighbours then! (Limerick)
Only found out I had it a few weeks ago myself thanks to my amazing friend (a tipp girl).
Had it all my life so you can imagine how hard its been!

Bet it feels brilliant knowin' yer not the only one goin thru this shite!

Went to St. Annes in Limerick last week and found out theyve classes for it there - but you've to get your GP to refer you.
Ugh.... waiting rooms...

I've a cognitive behavioural therapy series but it involves a LOT of commitment. I hear its great once you put the work in though.

Apart from that i dont know anything around your area that will be of any help but if you find out, let me know!

I would recommend receiving a diagnosis from a psychologist and then do research into different types of therapy that are effective in treating whatever you have. I personally prefer psychologists since they do not throw pills at the problem, but psychiatrists are also a viable option. First you should see to it that you search for more information regarding your ailment.

Well, the first step in the path is to reach for assistance. You know you need it, do not delude yourself from that fact. From there I wish you well in your journey. I certainly hope that recovery finds you with all speed.
