So, I'm working to become a personality on an online radio station and I'm already having a difficult time because my anxiety and depression have gotten much worse and socializing/leaving my apartment for anything but the essentials is difficult for me. I already feel like a failure at this, especially since I haven't made any money yet, but then again I don't deserve money yet. There isn't a whole lot of moral support available and I don't think I should be asking for it anyway...no one else has these problems. No one else is afraid of using social networks (they have their own private Facebook page which would provide support and advice for people with positions like mine, but I of course don't get access...further making me an outcast).

Anyway, along with all of that, I need to come up with ideas for short radio show segments (like 5 minutes or so), but I'm having so much trouble knowing what to say. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. I'm also supposed to be writing articles too, but I'm having a similar problem. I do have some ideas of what to write, but the articles aren't getting approved and I think it's because there's no one to approve them on my specific site. I really thought I would be able to do this...but I guess not. The words "it's only your fault if you fail" keep going through my head.

But if I fail at this, I'm not sure what else to do. I have very narrow interests and very specific skills. And I don't think I'm really qualified to do anything despite having three degrees.

If you haven't seen a pyshciatrist yet, now would be a good time to see one. Getting rid of that depression and anxiety should help you think clearer. A therapist might help you get rid of some of you anxiety. Good luck.

I have seen a psychiatrist. She changed my medication which has messed up my sleep. I think it's starting to get better now...but still it's not really helping much with depression and anxiety. Nor can I think of what to talk/write about. I don't know what people would be interested in. I don't hang out with people my age...I'm not even around people my age anymore—not like that's the whole market, but I think it's the main market for the radio.
