Anxiety & Depression Hell..*TRIGGERS*

[OldMike]

Atm I'll be doin Voluntary each Wednesday from 1.30-4.30. I've agreed with my counsellor that getting a job is a long term goal & the short term is to build up my experience. In turn that ties in with socialising more. I still suffer everyday with loneliness & thats because I'm a serious recluse. My counsellor is helping me but I still hold an overwhelming sense of despair.

I've lived a very solitary lifestyle which suited me until I was hit by depression when everything started to fall apart. My first step at getting into the outside world was going to an over 60's luncheon club last wednesday for the first time.

It's good you're doing voluntary work and getting a job you like will certainly help, your still very young and if you get out into the world more that feeling of despair will fade.
