Hi everyone, my name is Jordan and I suffer with aspergers, depression, OCD and Social Anxiety.
Joined here for help really.
I'm 28 and live with a couple family members, I have no friends, no partner, no job, no social life and i really want that to change but all my problems in my head prevent it. I'm nearly 30 and I know that's still young but seeing people without mental health problems doing loads of stuff in their 20's makes me so down. I left college when I was 18 and basically haven't done anything since. I studied music at college although I enjoyed it my social took over and I couldn't cope, got a little help from the college which was really was giving me places to be on my own.
After I left college I got into photography, mainly sports and volunteered for a football club which I did for around 7 years until last year when I left due to not really enjoying it and my social anxiety taking over again. That was all I was doing for the past 7 years and now I have nothing.
I know it's hard in the current time but I want to change my life, have friends, date, meet new people but I have no idea how to or get over my anxieties. I get lonely almost every day and just wish I had someone to enjoy things with.
As I said I live with a couple family members, my mum is my carer and I know she can't look after forever and I worry what I will do when she can't, want to seek help to live more independently in the future.
