...See more Hello all This is my first time on the app, and I don’t know really where to start. I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety and depression over the past year or two. It’s to the point where it affects my physically, including chest pains and my hair falling out. I guess I am just looking for a space to speak; I have been in pretty bad isolation over the past year. I had a falling out wirh my parents, and now it feels like I have nowhere to turn. Which is particularly frightening for me, as I am now learning or relearning everything I never knew as a child, such as handling finances, managing emotions well, dressing decent, etc. it’s a bit embarrassing, but I was so sheltered as a kid; I was never taught anything, or interacted with many other people my own age. Which leaves me pretty stuck now, trying to figure out everything at once, completely on my own. And I have no clue if I am doing a decent job or not. My car recently broke down, which was my only means of escape from the isolating feeling, and now I am in a dark space, mentally. My financial situation is pretty tight as well, so right now I am just stuck in paralyzing anxiety, and I don’t know what to do or how to get out of it. On top of learning who I am, or what I should do, my only means of peace/escape is gone, and I just need new ways to feel happy or alive again.
