Iīm a 30+ year old woman and Iīm dealing with several issues that makes me feel stuck in life. I donīt have any diagnoses what I know of but Iīm almost sure Iīm depressed to a certain degree, mildly or maybe moderately.
I feel that I waste my life just letting the days pass by and at the same time I feel incapable dealing or solving my problems. I have a university degree but have been unemployed for several years since I left my studies. I looked for jobs for a certain time but when I didnīt get any positive answers my self esteem and motivation went down and then I stopped trying.
Now I avoid trying because I donīt know what I want anymore, nothing really gets me going or making me motivated careerwise. I also donīt want to get more negative answers to job appliances and feel even more disappointed and sad.
My next problem is that Iīm way behind most others as Iīve never had a relationship and never dated. It makes me feel somewhat not normal and creates anxiety and negative thoughts. At the same time I donīt feel ready to take the step to for example go on a date as I feel down and I canīt really see how a relationship would "help" me.
My third large issue is that Iīm quite lonely. I have only one friend and even if I see her rather often I spend most of my time alone. Iīve tried for several years to meet new friends through forums and so on. I met quite a lot of people for coffee and a chat but it never seems to grow into friendship. You feel you donīt have that much in common, you donīt have the same values and so on.
For me the advice "join some leisure activity" is not what Iīm seeking for as Iīve already tried this.
Instead perhaps someone here has his or her own experience of dealing with this issues or some proffessional reads my thread and can give me some advice.
I already see a therapist but itīs nearly impossible to get therapy for this issues (as youīre not suicidal or severly depressed) in the country I live. Soon I will not be entitled to therapy any longer and it leaves me with a sense of no hope or no possibility at all to create a worthy life.
