I can't take it anymore. Every morning when I wake up I feel horrible: chest pains, stomach ache, racing heart, sweating, etc. I am on prozac and go to support groups but it's just not helping. I am pretty much homeless and am living with my mom in a very toxic environment. I lost my car, savings, everything. I don't want to face another day of fruitless job searching, intense loneliness, and utter despair. Every day I wake up with a horrible sense of doom and that things will never get better because they have been awful for so long. I feel like the stress and anxiety related to having no money and job has permanently messed me up.

With the economy the way it is, I am guessing millions of people who aren't otherwised depressed are feeling so now. I have been depressed and anxious for years, but never like this. I realize that the root of this is my flawed thinking but no matter how positive I try to be, I am still unemployed and broke. People say to go volunteer but how do you that with no money?

I am single and come from a very fragmented family, i.e., no holidays, birthdays. etc. Right now I feel like I have no place anywhere.

I am not sure what to do. Just looking for some encouragement I guess.
