Tired, Broke and looking for social support

I am in need of a social support system. I am very isolated. I have no friends, no one to talk to. I am living a life of desperation. I ruminate all day long. I am angry at the world. I have a hard time accomplishing anything. I often have to lay down to relax. My diet is erratic though slot better than it has been. I feel tired often. I want to take time off and to relax. I am unemployed and cannot find a good paying job. I am often bored. I am 49 years old.

I can totally understand how you are feeling! I isolate as well and find comfort in laying in my bed all day. I am currently taking medication for relief and struggling to seek talk therapy as I have major anxiety of telling a complete stranger how I feel. Def talk to your primary care doctor for direction it helps.

I totally hear you. I can’t find work and am 51, not tech savvy. Feel like have been left behind with no local friends. Am bored and not motivated. Am currently in a Partial Hospitalization Program for 2 weeks and to be discharged this Friday. Then, no reason to get up out of bed.

Hey there! I feel exactly the same way. No job, frozen with fear & isolated. Signed up here looking for support. I've been learning about mindfulness & believe it's helping. Takes a lot of practice to change the repetitive negative self talk. Check. You might want check out an app called calm. Lots of fee content.

So sorry you are feeling this way. Is there one little thing you could do each day to make you feel a little better?
