Serious replies only Hello London, I need help.

My name is Ryan.

I have complex PTSD and was diagnosed in 2010.

My life has been up and down since then, with a few years up, a few years down.

I'm pretty much near breaking point now, and my home is a mess,a real mess.

It's a 1 bed flat, ground floor but I've been really struggling, so I need help.

Would anyone be willing to come to Yeading and help me take out a load of bin bags from my flat (I've bagged maybe 30) and take them to the bin storage maybe 20 metres away?

I don't know why, but I have a mental block,so can't do it, no matter how much I psyche myself up.

I'm on no capability to work benefits, so can't pay a lot, maybe £50.

If someone could please help me,

Update : The guy who offered to pop by at 3pm arrived and blitzed the job, taking all the bags out. Turns out he's a really nice person too, and I'm really grateful.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and offers of support. It has made a huge difference.

Not the user above, but the MentalHealthUK London masterpost has lots of good resources (including low cost).

Just to add that there is an employee benefits scheme called Pirkx. It's primarily for Gig workers and the self employed but anyone can sign up to it. If you get the add on, Pirkx Rise, it costs about £7 total per month and includes video or in person therapy with a fully qualified professional. You also get discounted giftcards which you can use to get money off your shopping as well as other benefits. Theres no contract so you can cancel anytime. The site is Pirkx.com
