Hi

I wanted to say welcome to the forum.

I’m sorry to hear of your struggles.

I’m not sure which country you are in and what is available to you in respect of anxiety and depression.

Maybe some therapy would be a good route to go down, to look at why you are not liking your environment etc. I struggle with social anxiety and it’s an ongoing work in progress, finding things to help and exploring what helps me personally.

Here in U.K., I would suggest you visit your doctor as that is a starting point to further help and suggestions.

I hope it helps being here on the forum. It helps me to read posts and realise I’m not alone with how I feel.

Best wishes 🌺

Imagines with my happy childhood play in front of my eyes. When time passed and I grew up I was more and more unhappy, with physical manifestation of depression and anxiety. Today I'm lost in this life, feeling that I missed somewhere in the road of life my purpose in this life.

I agree with faux that you need to seek some therapy to help you understand the roots of your depression and anxiety in order to start dealing with it.

There is no window to find your purpose in life so you haven't missed anything, you will find it sooner or later - personally I have never found one apart from enjoying life as much as I can. Your job is to be the best version of you that you can and that is something which is worth working on. x

Thank you for your thoughts, I have had a lot of treatments and therapies and I visit a lot of clinics, unconventional or conventional ones. There is no result, and I end up giving, ending this fight. I just wait the end of my life.

Hi the purpose of therapy is to help you explore your feelings and emotions in a safe place. Have you done this? There has to be change from doing this but the work has to come from you. x

Yes, I did, but no result. The best result I had with treatment, with remeron and solian

manage your depression the best you can, therapy, SSRI's , alternative methods...and create your own environment that makes you happy. Looking within first, and then change what you can and learn to accept what you can't. We have no control over people places or things that just are....only how we act and react to them. Don't look to others for happiness first, find it within and the rest will follow.
