Story
I am an Army Veteran who sufferers from Mental Health Illness. My diagnosis is PTSD, Psychosis, Severe Depression, GAD and Agoraphobia which means i can't leave my flat without a chaperone and then its only for medical appointments. I would like to try a private pyschologists to help me deal with the agoraphobia so I can leave my flat by myself and get some independence back and hopefully return to work. If I can get better than I am now my plan is to offer Therapy for AA,NA and Mental Health issues for free in my own flat with hope to get a big enough group to use the church hall.
Below is a link to my story from last year covered by the Mirror Newspaper

I want to be well enough to give back to people through therapy and my Mental Health Team is backing me to do it thats my goal to offer a free therapy group.
