Lonely, anxious, trapped

[Bythesea22]

I didn’t really know which section to put this post in. A bit of background - single mum to Ds (17), no family apart from a sister who hardly communicates with me, no close friends and none locally. Plus a job with a dreadful boss and colleagues I have nothing in common with.
So I feel totally alone and my work is quite overwhelming at times but can’t take the risk of leaving as I can’t manage without working. Even on days off I worry about work and almost feel it’s more stressful wondering what happening while I’m away.
I also have ocd and due to start counselling soon.
Just reaching out on here as I’m feel so horribly alone.

@category12 yes, I think k you’re right. I feel totally stuck and trapped. I do have some antidepressants but haven’t started them yet. I rent from previous times, the first few weeks are horrible on them. I probably just need to get on with starting them while I wait for my counselling appointment.
