I just can’t seem to wake up on time for work and think I’m going to lose my job

DEAR DEIDRE: I JUST can’t get myself out of bed in the morning to go to work and I think I’m about to lose my job again.

I don’t know what’s the matter with me. I’m a married man, aged 30. My wife is 28.

I work in a supermarket and I’ve called in sick five times this month because I’ve overslept.

My boss wants to talk to me on my return.

I’m terrible with money, too, so I get in a right state trying to find enough for the rent, yet I waste money on silly things. It’s now affecting my marriage.

I know it’s all down to me. I’m embarrassed about it. I just want us to be happy.

DEIDRE SAYS: Start off by talking to your GP.

It could be you grew up with no sound model of how to run an adult life.

But I also wonder whether you have an undiagnosed condition such as ADHD which makes it hard for you to get organised.

For now, ask your wife to help you set, and wake up to, an alarm – and hand over family finances to her.
