I was intelligent maybe could have done something with my life. Between my disfunctional family and extreme bullying I didnt develope right. Im stuck in the past and terrified of the future.

I couldn’t have said it better myself, trapped in the past and terrified of the future. I like to think I’m intelligent, I did great in school, but anxiety and depression spoiled most of that for me. I’m currently trying to find ways to ground myself in the present and the best one so far has been exercise. It can really help clear your head.

Im stuck emotionally. I couldnt maintain jobs or positive relationships. You at least have children.....Im alone. If I live long enough....and I hope I dont.....I may end up alone and homeless. Ive screwed up my housing situation . Every where I walk now is so different. Places I used to live are unrecognizable. I dont know what else to say . I keep on having cring fits...howling into a pillow like a wounded animal.

I know how you feel. I often feel like i lost a part of myself to depression and anxiety a long time ago. It can get a little better with time but you need to build a new you and leave the old in the past. I threw away a good future because of my depression, so i know it can hurt bad to think about.
