Anxiety at an all time high.

Mark
over 1 year ago

Past week or so, my anxiety and depression has gotten really bad. 
my friends are getting better jobs, starting relationships, buying homes and im the only one who hasn’t progressed since he was left school at 16. Im now 34.

I feel so humiliated and alone. I should be lucky I have friends, a job, I go out and I have family. I have a place I sleep at night and feel safe. 

but then why do I feel like this. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t want to live (I won’t do anything, I just feel that way) 

At Christmas I always feel alone and this year it’s gotten worse. 

I don’t know what to do anymore lol. I can’t keep feeling like this.

    Hi Mark,

    Sorry that you're feeling so low.  You know, the 30s is still quite young - it seems so to me as I'm in my fifties.  I haven't achieved all that much either, but I know that I'm still a worthwhile human being.  Sending you many kind thoughts.  

    I hope you have a nice Christmas after all - even if it's quiet.  Quiet and peaceful might be nice.  I promise you you're not alone, even if it feels like that at times.  I'm surrounded by a family but still feel alone quite often.
