I had some anxiety round my 30th birthday which destabilised me, but even without the mental health problems I wasn't doing well. Living at home, working a part time job, no friends, not much money. The anxiety issues only caused me to lose my job and not want to look for work. It was around my 31st birthday where someone gave me a job and I only managed to keep that job for a year because of my ongoing anxiety problems as well as other personality issues that I have.

I'm 37 now and not doing much better, although the initial anxiety problem has settled down at least.
