i’m tammy, i’m from essex. i’m an alcoholic and have drunk most days since i was 18. i’m also a mental health patient with schizophrenia. i live alone and it’s just impossible to stop drinking. i grew up in care and have no-one to talk to, no friends. i have a new support worker but i can’t trust him as men have taken advantage all of my life.

i can’t stop drinking for even one night. the best i can manage is a few hours later every night but the physical anxiety is impossible to ignore every time.

does anyone have any advice? thanks

Hi tammy, sorry to hear you have nobody to talk to. Can you not ask them about swapping your support worker for a female considering your needs?
