I feel so low and depressed

Hi All,

I know this my issues are not issues compared with what others are going through but I feel so dissatisfied with myself and life at the moment.

I've worked in office jobs since I was 17 (now 27) and I just feel like I have no talent, no clear career path for myself and I'm just not enthusiastic about anything.

To be honest I constantly feel empty. Anger easily, very low self esteem and low confidence, anxious, very low in mood.. no motivation for anything other than to sit on my sofa and shut myself away from the world which obviously doesn't help but that's all I want to do.

I feel I serve no purpose and have no direction or anything exciting for my future.. I don't know who I am, what I want in life or anything. I am bored to the back teeth of sitting at a desk all day.. I have no joy. I have no qualifications in anything

I feel severe guilt and shame about things in my past and grief for my mum who passed away..

I have considered going back on antidepressants as I don't want to medicate every day but see no other way.. I am also starting some counselling sessions soon

does anyone else feel this way

Would you like a listening ear or would you like to problem solve?

motivation does not just drop in your lap. Action breeds motivation. You have to act and then you get motivated.

what career did you want at school? Have you ever wanted a career?
