Can you see a therapist or psychiatrist? Are you taking anything for the depression and anxiety?

About 6 months. I worked for a grocery delivery business and made pretty good money. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the job but I didn’t hate it.
But my sister died and I just couldn’t deal with customers anymore after that. The last three years have been hell. My sister died, her kids were in foster homes, my nephew got leukemia. My brother divorced his wife and fell apart. Just brutal.
I’m not trying to whine or make excuses and I’m not sure how much my problems are nature VS nurture but My parents were killed when I was 2, I was moved around from home to home. My uncle who raised me committed suicide about 20 years ago.
I’ve just had a lot of heavy stuff happen to me over the years. I used to be able to fight through it I’m not sure this time I can come back from it.
We had an hour long orientation for that job yesterday and it was just agony for me. It’s like I can’t shut my brain off and just be in the moment.
