I'm 22 years old. And I'm in need of some advice.
I recently have been extremely depressed. Having short panic attacks. Very quiet, no appetite. I am lost. I lost my job, totaled my car, lost my social security card. and license. Am in debt with credit cards. Haven't paid rent in 4 months. Can't afford food. I been trying to find a job. But nobody will hire me. Nothing local to me is hiring. (Thank god for my roommate helping me) Ik it doesn't sound like the worst. But i wake up everyday. Wishing I didn't wake up. This is no way to live. Everything is falling apart at once. I spend every night in tears. I don't know where to start. I have zero dollars to my name. No car. I just don't know what to do. I just hate my life, and I realize many others have it worse off. But I'm at the lowest I could be right now. I've never once met my father. And my mother tries her damn hardest. I'm slowly dying inside. Day after day I honestly just need to say this aloud. Maybe it will help me. Last edited by Merlin; May 30, 2012 at 01:03 AM.. Reason: Trigger Icon Added |

Dont give up hope!
i know this may sound strange but perhaps you could do some volunteer work right now, go to your local soup kitchen or pass out food to the homeless, it may not help at first but it might help you realize some things, makes friends, and even provide you with food in some cases or just a great experience. if god brought you to it, he will bring you through it. this experience may be tough, i know, im depressed to, but i also feel helping others with there situations helps me. im sorry im only 16, but i try to say what i can and what i understand, i dont know if you believe in it or not, but i will be praying for you. i hope everything gets better, just dont give up hope quite yet, give it time and im sure something magical will happen. |

This was my son a few years ago. You will need to live in a place where you don't need a car. Couch surf with loved family that you choose to bring into your life. Find a spiritual teacher who can be like a father to you. Apply for benefits of some kind. At least food stamps. Find someone who needs you and your gifts. Then looking for a job should be a later priority. You need to learn to be good and nurturing to yourself first.

It does help to write it out. I find it helps also to find three things a day that I am grateful for. It is hard to find them sometimes but just finding them And writing them helps shift my thinking just a little. I am really thankful for this forum because it is a place I can write my thoughts out to even in the middle of the night. A place to chat until I fall asleep. Just shift the thinking a tiny bit just a tiny bit. It helps.

Hi, welcome to PC. I am glad you came here and shared. There are many wonderful people on the site that can relate and offer support and a solid online support system.
You've taken the first step: getting it out  Now you can build from here. Have you spoken with your MD regarding the D? Do you have a T. that you can speak with? (I realize money is tight. perhaps there is a community center in your area that has counseling / availability on a sliding scale). There are lots of resources. Please do not give up. I know how hard it is (I was there), but it DOES get better. I never in a million years thought I would be in the place I am in today (compared to where I was less than a year ago) - it does get better. It's not easy but it DOES get better. Keep posting and sharing and reaching out. Your thoughts and feelings are important and you do not have to suffer alone. We are here.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
