Feeling increasingly lifeless and nearing the end.. What am I supposed to do?

...See more Hello! So, I’m new to this and I’m hoping someone can share their thoughts on what I’ve been going through recently, though I promise to try my best to keep it short. I’ve always been somewhat anxious, with random bouts of what I can only describe as overconfidence at times (but not lately); however, it was only until my mid-twenties when I started to try and get my life in order - I left my horrid retail job, started selling for a company across the UK, and I met someone who I eventually found a place to rent with. I soon decided sales wasn’t for me, as I couldn’t seem to do the job to the best of my ability unless I was working alongside a colleague, and I managed to get a job within a phones-based team, where I was promoted twice and now I’m just one position below management-level. When I split with my partner and said goodbye to her, our dog (which went with her), and the house we were saving to buy from our landlord, I had to move back home with a parent, which is where I still live now as the cost of renting in my area is sky-high! I’m now nearing the age of 30, I only have savings of £3,000 at the time of writing this, I don’t drive a car or motorbike having never learned, all of my friends are gone etc. The worst part is my feelings towards my team at work and my colleagues, as I cannot stand my job and every single Sunday and through Monday to Thursday, I can’t seem to get a good nights sleep and I dread waking up in the morning. I’m now incredibly anxious, and I feel so sad almost all of the time. My enjoyment for anything is now zero, my diet is atrocious and I’m literally ordering takeaways nearly every single day, and I’m just generally very miserable from morning until night. I want to quit my job, but there’s no alternative available in my area, and I don’t have a lot of money either to feel safe if I did that. I feel like everything is crumbling and I’m slowly but surely giving up on life. My doctor has prescribed me with 50mg of Sertraline and I’ve taken them for 3 days so far. Please is there anyone who can help me?
