I'm struggling now, more than ever, but I don't understand bc everything should be okay now and apart from money and the fact my bf is long distance and isn't ready to move in with me, all my previous worries about getting my degree and a full time job have been solved, but I guess that makes me feel empty in a now what..? Kinda way. I have my beautiful cat now who helps, and I'm trying to everything I can to combat this- especially as it's affecting my work and I'm scared of losing my job but I'm terrified to talk to anyone on the phone which is necessary for many help services and my bf is struggling too much with his own mental health for me to lean on him. Idk what else to do ....... Idk if I can survive on my own much longer
Can anyone help?: I'm struggling now... - Anxiety and Depre...
Can anyone help?

You can survive , you can do this. Don’t get overwhelmed, take everything one step at a time. It has a solution just stop for a moment and think calmly of each thing that is troubling you and you’ll find what’s making you feel empty... you can do this! I’m here if you need me.
You could try regain some balance in your life by volunteering at your local homeless shelter, food bank, or animal shelters. By helping others who have even less than yourself, and who are in worse situation, you would stop focusing on yourself and your issues.
Please try and keep up with your work - at least it pays your bills, and gives you roof above your head.
Writing down things that are most important on a piece of paper, and having it pinned on the door so that you never lose sight of your goals, could also help. Getting on with your work is more essential than, say, mowing your grass every week... Don't forget to make sure there is some "me" time. You need to recover, so you shouldn't try to give yourself away to others right now.
Take care, and let me know how you get on.
