I don't know what to do.

I am a 26 yr old, I have always felt like I never fit in anywhere. I run away from everyone including my parents, I left my boyfriend because all I felt was being trapped. Well I started all over again from scratch. Always succeeded when alone. I have been going through a lot of bills, had stopped working to concentrate on my PhD and also some treatments. I try my best to solve my problems but now I just don't know what to do. I got a remote flexible job to start next month but until then I got a lot of bills, am depressed, anxious and afraid of being evicted. I just wish someone can give me some hourly jobs to do and get paid or anyone with a logic solutions.

Have you tried journaling? There are journals specifically for Anxiety often times have prompt questions to make you think deeper than the counselor asking a question. In a matter of weeks of journaling, I discovered I have had Anxiety my entire life and was able to figure out the source. Also, have you tried meds, breathing exercises or meditating? They do work. I wish you luck!

That's a great start! Coming here to have support from people who have the same issue is good too. I can't begin to tell you how many times someone says that they have had the same exact symptoms. You are not alone, keep that in mind. I've picked up tips here too.

I understand what you mean, I rarely talk to people and here I feel anonymous, safe and feel that am not alone. Thanks again

Thank you for your openness and your honesty! I think from when I can first remember I was searching for something. I kept searching and not finding what it was that I needed. People always seem to disappoint, the next big job never satisfied my need for belonging, and nothing could fill that. I think we have all felt like this and its a hard place to be in. But there is hope. I finally am freed of that. There are a few things that helped me through this but one was helping others. Being a help to other people has giving me a purpose. I hope you can find this freedom, I believe you can. By the way journaling is an excellent idea and maybe finding a counselor to talk to or a life coach from a local church, wellness group or so on. -Rachel
