Just got to say a massive thanks for all the replies and offers of advice.

It feels like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders to able to admit that I've got a problem, feels like there is a future out there for me. Next step is go see my Doctor. Just trying to research as much about it as I can to help me understand it.
Really don't know the root cause of mine, I don't smoke weed or have ever done drugs. I just know I've got progressively over the last year to point of 2 days ago when I just broke down and admitted it to someone and myself.

Mixed views above on taken antidepressants. I'm really not keen on the idea of them and would prefer to try counseling first. That's one of my fears about going to the Doctors, I don't want to be just chucked a prescription and sent on my way.

Thanks again

Rob
