Does anyone live alone, are unemployed, and feel like they're just surviving from day-to-day with little happiness or fulfilment?

I am on disability and have not worked for a very long time. I have tried volunteering, but sometimes it causes anxiety and/or a flare-up of symptoms.

My days are spent on the computer. I don't know how else to spend my time. I never expected my life would turn out like this. I thought I would get married, have children and a full-time career.

Does anyone feel like me?

I feel this way at times. At 34 I thought by now I would be in NY acting and livin the life I always wanted. But I really feel that things happen for a reason. I moved back here even though doing so made me feel like a loser but if I hadnt come back here I never would have met my fiance. Even now I still sometimes feel like what they hell am I doing with my life. But I have to remind myself how far I have come from not being able to keep a job to now having a stable one. From being lonely tro finding someone. I have to remmeber to clook at the good tings in my life bc if I focus only ln the negative I will feel miserable. I hope you can do this too. Hugs.

I have been in that position before, got better and went back to work and now find myself in that position again due to recurrent flare-ups. So, I totally understand. Hope you get to feeling better. Wish I had some advice but I'm still trying to figure it all out too. Big hugs.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
