    If that is the correct thread, I just had a shuftee at it and something jumped out. You said you had no job, no marraige and didn't know what to do.

    I think you do - get the job. It'll give you confidence and if it's ****, you can get another one (a lot easier to quit a job than a marraige!)

    I think you're also stronger than you give yourself credit for. I mean, you have the knowledge, the GF... What you need to do, to answer your question is: take some action. Doesn't have to be massive or life changing.... just some action...

    Hope that helps.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It really seems like you have anxiety/depression - I'm not making a diagnosis obviously, but the facts speak for themselves: you seem so panic-stricken, negative, you're crying a lot and you find it hard to get out of bed... for god's sake go to the doctor.

    You're not able to focus on the positive - i.e. you've been in a relationship for the past seven years. That's absolutely fantastic, and not hugely common for a 31-year-old. The pressure you're feeling in relation to others your age being married etc is only being put on by yourself. There's no way you should feel obliged to do as they're doing. Why on earth is it a big deal that their lives are different to yours? You're blowing things way out of proportion - a classic sign of anxiety.

    It seems you've some stuff in your life to get in order, but it doesn't seem like you're capable right now of doing so without support, so please get yourself to the doctor for a long chat, and (s)he may prescribe you some medication which should help you immensely. Once you start to feel better, you will be in more of a position to get your life in order bit by bit. Take it slowly though, don't feel pressured to sort it all out over night.

    And don't feel uncomfortable about the prospect of anti-depressants (if you need them). Taking them does not mean you're "mad" or weak - you'd be amazed if you knew how many seemingly strong, together, balanced people are on them. It's just medication for an illness, the way you'd take an antibiotic for a chest infection.

    You'd be better off working too - being out of work can affect you terribly. The boredom and loneliness become feelings of uselessness and your confidence can take an awful battering; then the panic and depression kick in. Would even a part-time job anywhere at all be feasible? Or a Fás course? Anything to get you out of the house.

    Best of luck with it...

    Could you talk to your girlfriend about this? If you've been together for seven years you must be close and she must care about you, she might be able to help you better than a website full of strangers.
