Hey everyone, I am looking for an older Listener (30+) to help me through some things:

# Long-Term Severe Depression
- Diagnosed at 18, on Disability. Winter is here, which makes it worse.
# Abuse/Trauma and PTSD
- Abusive parents as a kid, abusive relationships, sexual assault survivor. Stress symptoms are starting to get worse (numb, bouts of derealization, weird thoughts/paranoia, panic attacks, etc)
# Long-Term Unemployment
- I feel like I have no purpose? I have skills just 0 motivation?
# Dysphagia
- Malnutrition due to illness, underweight, hate eating because it's so frustrating and defeating. Who the hell cries over plates of food while they're starving?! This girl!

I know I seem like a huge mess, I just need someone who can understand and help me pull myself together. I being inside my own head has always been comfortable, and now it's starting to get weird? I hate being a burden on other people, and I hate asking for help. But I am starting to kind of scare myself and nobody close to me understands.

hey firstly I would like to tell you how very proud I am of you for reaching out for help so give yourself a pat on the back for that!

I'm late 20s and would be honoured to be your listener! If you were looking for someone in their 30s it might help if you let us know your time zone and then I will be more than happy to give you a hand looking for someone who fits your requirements a bit more than I do. Knowing your time zone means we can get you connected with someone who is more likely to be available when you are around. either reply to me on here or you can drop me a PM either to chat or for a hand finding the best listener for you

I hope to hear from you soon and give yourself a second pat on the back for taking such a big step towards getting help!
