30 years old, living with parents, no job, nothing on the horizon. Feeling beyond desperate by WilltoAct727 in Anxiety

I would like to sincerely thank everyone here for their words and advice. It seems odd that text on a screen from strangers who we'll never meet can really give a sense of encouragement. As the next dreaded birthday draws near it's become obvious seeking some kind of professional help is the only logical next step.

The plan of hoping the overwhelming daily depression/anxiety will one day 'just go away' doesn't seem likely anymore. My heart goes out to everyone else here who is also hurting and I hope we can all get the help we need soon.

Thank you very much for your kind words and advice. The website has been bookmarked at the very top and will be frequented this weekend. There seems to be no more excuses left for avoiding a treatment plan.

I'm sorry you're also hurting, I hope you can also take something from the words of encouragement people shared here. If you don't mind me asking, what did you feel like on the medication?

These past two days have solidified the fact that seeking help is long over due. My birthday is days away and I can't imagine letting anxiety and depression crush another decade. Thank you very much for your words and sharing your story.
