Been feeling mixed up
I have been unemployed a while now , I have lost my confidence, and assertiveness and social skills. Anxiety has just amplfied it more. I stuck in a place where I cant get a job in a small city, I can't move to another big city as no where seems to accept benefits and they all think we are scum but I'm trying so hard . I'm feeling lost and I use to be so ambitious and really driven and its been sucked out of me. I don't know how to move forward. Its so frustrating how do people stay happy and confident when you feel like rubbish all the time . I tried taking medication it just seems to make me sleep all day and feel really tired. I don't what to do any more. You reach a point and you feel like how can I change things. Why can't I have what everyone else has and be successful in a good place and proud of myself and not feel ashamed.
@flowerpower23 I feel you. I'm in a very similar situation. I don't have any advice unfortunately, I just wanted to say that you're not alone.
Dealing with anxiety is hard. I've been working with my anxiety for a long time. Stress makes it worse, but you can get through it. I would suggest talking to your doctor about trying another medication. I've been on many that haven't worked for me. When it comes to meds, think about if it is helping you more than hurting you. It sounds like this current one just isn't for you. Take care of yourself. Do things you enjoy. It's hard to have the motivation, but any small thing will help. I hope any of this helps.
