Bless your heart ~ you seem to be suffering from ALOT of anxiety!

Why do you feel you will be homeless? Is it your inability to take responsibility, i.e. paying the rent, etc.?? You've been doing it all this time -- why would you be more likely to end up homeless?

I know the feeling of being disconnected. I too had a 'bout' with that in the past. Nothing seemed to make any sense -- the anxiety was more than I could handle!!! I talked to my doc about it, and he put me on an antianxiety medication --- but if you're having trouble with medications, I'm not sure this would be the best avenue for you to take!!!

Why not ask for a referral to a good therapist/counselor? I've been thru therapy too, and believe me -- it did me a WORLD of good!! I saw that my anxiety was of my own making -- that almost all of my fears were unfounded. I spent too much time in my head -- I was listening to all the doubts & fears that the "person" inside my head was telling me! LOL Once I realized that these fears were unlikely to happen -- and that I had been functioning quite well all along -- I started to "recover." I felt less fearful & didn't doubt my abilities quite as much.

Please get a referral -- if you can't afford it, call your county's Council on Mental health (or whatever they call it) and see if they offer counseling based on ability to pay (or free!!). Some county's do have that benefit. God bless and take care. Please keep us posted on your progress. Hugs, Lee

Thanks for this!
