DEAR DEIDRE: I AM terrified that my utilities company will cut me off.
I’m single and in my fifties.
I’ve been living on my own since I broke up with my girlfriend.
Recently, I missed an energy bill. When I realised the money hadn’t gone from my bank, I quickly paid it off but my anxiety has gone through the roof.
I’ve always suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety, but since I’ve been single it has got worse.
I cannot control my anxious thoughts and I’m terrified the energy firm will cut me off without warning.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
I would sooner go hungry than miss a payment again – even by an hour.
Anxiety is now affecting my sleep.
Life is beginning to feel like hell. How can I stop this?
DEIDRE SAYS: I can reassure you, that you will not be cut off from your utilities without cause.
It sounds like you pay your bills on time, which means you have nothing to worry about.
My Anxiety support pack will help you and Anxiety UK also has information available.
