Alone, no family, depressed, anxious

[Kpmm23]

Hi, I haven't slept more than 5 hours a night in the past few weeks. I lost my job have no family and rent an room in someone's house. I'm scared and older. I suffer with depression and anxiety. I tried to get disability but was denied. I'm sorry to be such a downer but I'm really scared.

Thanks for listening

fear is a big part in my everyday life. its controls our day. but i keep getting told to only work on what i control i.e my situation and not live in the past or the future. but as you will know when you suffer from anxiety and depression the mind seems to wonder off and worry about things that most likley wont happen. but may do if we dont try and take charge.

im sorry if am not helping im still new to this.

Just talking to someone who understands helps

I often live in the past or future I try to control my thoughts but they spiral
