...See more Due to a big flare up of anxiety, i have not been able to work for the last six years or so. Thankfully im able to live with my parents for support however i have been working through my savings and im starting to worry about my money situation… i was on benefits very briefly but found the constant check ins etc to be way more stressful than it was worth. I really want to get back into work as i would like to get an income however, every time i even think about applying for something i start to panic 😣 due to my general/social anxiety. Can anyone recommend any low stress jobs that i could do as a way to ease myself back into work?

Feeling lonely
Friendship Support / by LonelyGinger93

...See more Hello 👋🏻 i’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression since i was a teen. I just turned 30 a few weeks ago and i have no real friends. i lost a lot of my friends when i left school and everyone went their own way and ive never really stuck with any new ones. i had a couple “friends” for a while but i would only see them once or twice a year and they would only talk to me if i messaged them first. (I used the old “if they wanted to reach out to you they would and most of them didnt…..😔) it gets really lonely not having anyone to talk to. I do have a boyfriend (somehow 😂) but it would be nice to have someone else to spend time with or even just a long distance online “pen pal” to chat to.

Drepression vs relationship
Relationship Stress / by LonelyGinger93

...See more Ive been in a relationship with my current boyfriend for a few months now and it was going pretty well. We have good communication which helps to smooth out any issues before they become real problems and he’s really understanding about my mental health issues as he has been through his share of hard times too. however, my family dont approve of him… They havent even told me a good reason for it, they just dont. Obviously, i realise that im the one in the relationship so it is ultimately my decision however, when i already suffer from bad anxiety, the constant stream of negativity really gets to me and causes me to overthink everything he says or does. over the last couple weeks, my depression has hit me hard and i find myself Feeling numb again. I feel so emotionless that its like i dont even care that im in a relationship (until my anxiety kicks in and reminds me that i do care) … i know that ive had these spells of depression before and ill get through it but i feel so guilty not being able to give my all to this relationship
