Your situation sucks, and i hope it gets better. I still get occasional bouts of depression, but i only allow my SO and family to see it, because they're the only ones who really truly care.Ī lot of good advice in this post.But that's not what your looking for. I'm confident, ambitious, and fun to be with. Now i'm a functioning member of society again. I had to dig myself out of the worst of my depression first before i could have normal friendships again. And they were happiest to be with me when i was acting fun and normal. My friends were able to tolerate me because i only met up with them every now and then, so they didn't have to be with someone gloomy for too long. Why would a normal person choose to be with someone like that? There are very few people who can manage that. Depression makes people reclusive, insecure, sad, and so on. Why? Because he was bipolar.Īnd i don't blame her. They hung out a few times, and she looked like she really liked him, but she still ended up breaking things off. But then one of my friends met with a guy on tinder. When i told my friends, they were very supportive, to the point where i thought they didn't care at all. I think, what's the point? If I want to work in an office, why am I working with kids? I honestly feel so lost and depressed. I volunteer once a week in a school, but it's so hard dragging myself to go. I have so much work to do, just to get another low paying job. So yeah, I wanted to work in an office, but even that requires experience. I assume that everyone dislikes me upon meeting me, so going to job interviews and then having to start a new job is incredibly difficult. I wish I was extroverted, I wish I didn't have anxiety. I see other people younger than me thriving at work and getting promoted. What do I do? I was thinking of getting an office job, but it sounds like there is so much social interaction required. I have a degree in English Literature but I doubt I will use it. I can't assert myself, I am just a people pleaser. I freeze around people, and I gag before work, trying not to throw up. I don't just have mild social anxiety, I have severe anxiety. I've had CBT, I've tried many different medications. I ask myself every day, is this all there is to life? I don't have the social skills or confidence to do anything other than basic minimum wage work. Waking up early in the morning and going to a job I hate is fuelling my depression. I currently work 4 days a week in a care home. Moving out and having to find a better paid job is an incredibly daunting prospect to me. I am 27, I have social anxiety and depression.
