Insecure about my looks,never been in a relationship. I've accomplished nothing in my life. The 1 person I do live with(my mom) doesnt speak to me. She has a car but refused to give me a ride anywhere( one time she purposely backed up the car as I was trying to get in and nearly ran over my foot).

I've been trying to apply to jobs, but so far nothing. I dont even have a car, and its harder to get around. I've taken the bus before, but waiting on the street while having dozens of cars pass by triggers my anxiety horribly. I feel so vulnerable and 'naked' standing on the sidewalk. This makes me avoid taking the bus too. The only jobs i qualify for(fast food, retail) leave me depressed. One of my last coworkers(17 year old) made an insulting comment to a customer about how I was nearly 30 when she thought I was younger than I actually am.

I hear her (my mother) making plans to move to another state, which tbh i dont really care about, other than not having anywhere to go. I know my dad would let me stay with him vs the street, but my stepmother hates me,so i rarely go there, on top feeling embarrassed for accomplishing nothing.. I would rather live on the street.

Two younger siblings are at college, and one is in his senior year of high school and currently 2nd in his class. I didnt even graduate high school. One of my sisters is applying to medical school. I feel so ashamed.

I dont know how to get myself out of this rut. Im an adult! I should have my sh## together! Theres nothing stopping me from being happy other than myself right? Sometimes I wish i had the guts to go through with 'it'. But I dont. I desperately want to be happy.
Though it is not easy to do, try not to compare yourself to others--we are all unique.

While you are applying for jobs--have you considered studying for a GED (a test that is the equivalent of graduating from high school)? There are many free online prep courses--if you can pass your GED, it might open up some other possibilities. Also, do you have access to mental health care such as a therapist? It sounds like your worries (anxiety?), depression, OCD, whatever (I am not a qualified mental health professional so I am guessing) could be interfering with your life. I am sorry you are struggling. Hang in there....
