I am sorry to say that I do feel in a similar situation. I have not worked for a few years. I live alone. My friends have all gone away now and my family have dis-owned me too.
I was in a long term relationship , but that ended in 2006. I am now 41 but I feel and look 31. Its a strange feeling.
I kinda have feelings of social phobia. It comes upon me when I get outside. The thoughts of going out are great when thinking about it. When I am in a new situation though with new people I feel an anxious wave come over me. I think I know why this is though, I feel 'inferior' to the people around me (even though a lot of the time people think I am a walking 'Encyclopedia').
My T suggested that I channel what she thinks I would be good at. Peer support.
So I am going into training for peer support, and a view to training to go in to 'Drug Rehabilitation' support.
I think this will bring back my social skills. I used to be an actor would you believe (on stage). I never saw what I'm going through now coming. I do believe though with all my heart that we can change our perception's and improve what we see as negatives inside our self's.
Take good care.
I hoped this helped.
