Last few days

The last few days haven't been great. Every morning I wake up and get an anxiety attack about...well just living another day I guess. I tried everything recommended to me before-like making a list, doing things straight away, but it just wouldn't go away. I ended up just being miserable till about 2 in the afternoon, when it would wear off a bit and I could do something. I've packed nearly half my stuff to move. Still need to buy some things. And the thought of having to think things through just makes me nervous. And when I am nervous I get nauseous. So I can barely eat, though I am really hungry. I am so tired of this, and I am getting angry. Everybody said I need to do something, to get a job. Maybe when I start I'll feel better but right now I feel horrible. I am not excited at all about working, I do not feel better, I am better than I used to be but it's still not alright, and I am angry. I spent so much money on therapy and it's helped only that little bit to make this tolerable, but when can I start living like a normal human being?!
And I wish someone would read this and comment something like it gets better, you're on the right track! Because lately I can't really talk to anybody about this. My friend who has bipolar disorder always just changes the subject to herself. I guess she's trying to distract me but it's getting really annoying because I just want to share what is bothering me and she just goes oh stop thinking about it, I'm cooking lasagna. Great!
I try not to tell my mom because about a month ago, when we had a conversation, she said it is really difficult to talk to me because I am always complaining and being negative. But that is how I feel! And she said my sister complained about the same thing. So I try not to talk about this with her either. But I just feel like I have nothing to say, because I literally do not feel anything good, and nothing really happens so I end up having nothing to say.
Today I got up and had anxiety and I tried to visualise my child self, thinking it might help, but I couldn't because the anxiety was too strong, I couldn't concentrate. I ended up listening to a hypnosis app 3 times, which did finally soothe me and I am feeling a bit better.

Something new

So the update is that I'll be starting work next Monday. But I need to move this weekend. My friend with a car is away, so I'm not sure who to ask to help with this. I'll have to ask my brother, but I'm not sure it'll work out.
I've been depressed the last few days- I wake up with a knot in my stomach, nervous for no apparent reason, so I end up in bed the whole day, trying to get over the anxiety. By evening I'm better, so I stay up late, and end up feeling bad the next morning. Today I woke up and I hadn't slept well, and I thought well, that's because you didn't do shit yesterday. And I started to panic. A day of my life wasted. Completely wasted. Nothing to show for it and it didn't even feel good. And I'm starting to get anxious that I need to do a lot before I move. Leave everything clean, buy stuff I'll need there. I am getting stressed out.

Work

Oh, what did I get myself into??! I've been negotiating for 2 months(!) now. Even though I was told that it's all good, I am accepted. I just need to volunteer to get acquainted with the work. Ok, did that. Now there is the question of providing me with accomodation. And it's taking forever! I'm getting second thoughts now, maybe it's a sign that it's not meant to be. But I really thought this is what I should be doing. Now my parents are telling me I should be looking for something else, because this is not working out. I keep writing to the person who seems in charge of hiring, keep waiting for replies, keep getting vague answers and delays. What does this mean?

Fear

Everybody says I need to find something to do with my life, I need to work... Now I have found work but I am really starting to panic that when I move I will be completely isolated. How will I ever meet a guy?? I want to be in a relationship but everybody I meet is just plain, not exciting at all. And there I won't even meet anybody. And I am not sure at all I can do it through the internet... I really don't want to end up alone

Return

I was away for two weeks volunteering. It was intense. I am glad I could be helpful, but I am so tired now. Luckily it worked out alright but there were moments when I was so angry at the poor organisation of it all. So I'm glad it's over now. Now I have to think about getting to work. They offered me an apartment but it's so shabby. I don't think I have much of a choice, but I am a bit sad about it. I am getting enthousiastic about he work, but worried that my depression will get worse if I move to that place. It's so small(( I am sure I won't find anybody to hang out with.
