Hello..

[Mikka]

*stares at screen for ages wondering how to start*
I suppose ive been living with this for at least 10 years without knowing what was wrong with me. After a recent break up and coming to a pretty low point in my life a friend suggested i may have SA. Im 29 and feel i have no future, im unemployed and still live at home. I dont have friends and never go out, shopping once a week is all i do.. ive had a couple attempts at uni and jobs but it never lasts more than a few months.
After the breakup with my bf i did feel a need to sort the future out for myself since all he left was a black hole and the plans we had were gone. I had some positive energy for a couple days.. but when i thought too much on how things hadnt really changed and how much id dread getting up in the morning if i had to face people all that energy burnt out.
I dont want to be the most popular girl in the world, i dont need a big circle of friends.. i just want to be able to cope with holding a job and getting some kind of life back without being scared of what everyone around me is thinking or saying. Anyway.... hi im not usually this low and depressing, but broken heart really doesnt help either

Hi there and welcome.

I'm new to this too.. Don't despair, it's never as bad as it seems!

Hi Mikka welcome to the site, hopefully you wont feel this low for long,have you seen your GP about sa yet?

[Mikka]

No, never spoken to anyone about it.. but it will be my first step instead of leaping into new job and everything else i cant handle right now.. i actually feel a bit better because i can see that is the way forwards

Thats good staying positive is very important,its easy to get a defeatist attitude when you are low.

Hi Mikka

Nice to meet you mikka. I can definetely relate to the job and uni thing. People always say to stick with it, that itll get better. But the stress and anxiety just gets too much for me.

Hi Mikka,

I think this really sums up my desires in life too :D

The broken heart is tough, but time is a good healer. I've recently split up with my girlfriend and I know that feeling of everything else having no meaning. I'm a firm believer in things happening for a reason, one door closing and another opening. Try to reclaim that positive energy because that is when good things happen
