Hey peeps, hope you're having a good day.
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.
44, still lost..
Well I know this means nothing, but at least you know you're not alone.

I completely understand how you are feeling because I’m feeling the same way. I suffer from anxiety to and it intends to get worse at night not sure why. I don’t know if you have the same feeling when I want to go to sleep and feel like I’m I wake up like I don’t have enough air and then I have to immediately run out the house to catch my breath again. Also my right arm always hurts so much but only at night because during the day I’m completely fine not sure if someone else goes through this our it’s only me because I suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes. Also I’m like you my medication doesn’t seem to work for me I feel worse than ever it feels awful. My self esteem is also very low and I’m having problems with my appearance I don’t like the way I look and maybe this is the reason I never get the right relationships either our it could just be my depression who knows. Let me tell you that you are not alone on this and if you ever need some support I’m here for you, we might not be ok but giving support to one another might help.
