Finding life hard

I’m really struggling. I’m in my mid twenties. I feel like I don’t know where my life is heading or what purpose I have. I have social anxiety and I’m pretty sure I have body dysmorphia. I also have an eating disorder. I have no friends. I feel as though people are staring at me when out and about and I just feel unworthy and like there’s no point.

Could you see your GP and tell them what you said here?

life doesn’t have to be this way but you need to be grace and take the first step to getting help

I think therapy and some meds could be very useful for you

What do your family say?

I would advise going to your GP as a starting point too. You sound like me at your age & I just struggled needlessly until a GP in my late 30s gently said 'I think you may be depressed' and I was then given a lot of very good help - therapy & anti depressants. I'm not saying you are definitely depressed but that you need to talk to a professional & let them judge how to help you. I wish you all the best.
