I'm not sure what to say, ha
Depression Support / by Jford8521

...See more Hey, my name is Jay and I'm 36 from Alabama in the United States.. I honestly do not know what to say in this. I guess I should tell you the issues I've been dealing with for most of my life. I've been battling depression for years now and the medication I've been given for it hasn't really worked the way I wanted it to work. Im very anxious at night for some reason (I have no clue why) I've been given Ativan for it and it barely works on me. Ok what else...I have low self esteem, I barely have any confidence in myself when it comes to women which is why I'm probably alone and single, that and I don't feel I'm attractive considering what you see on TV and social media as "attractive". Because of this i have no confidence to ever try to talk to a girl I just usually put my head down whenever one is around. I wish I didn't feel like this and I could just be myself and find a girl that would like me for me. I also feel kind of lost as in I want more in my life as far as a career, I don't want another dead end job, I want an actual career, but I have no clue where to start. I know it sounds weird that a 36 year old man feels lost and in the wilderness, but this is how I've felt for the past year. I apologize for this long message, but if anyone does read this know that you are loved.
