Please, I need advice

At the moment, I am very stuck, I have no idea what to do.

Everyone says I am too unwell to be in education or to work, and I struggle too much finding a place of my own to live, and no one I've spoken to likes the idea of me living on my own anyway.

And yet no one considers me unwell enough that they do anything else besides refer me onto psychotherapy, which isn't working for me. I don't understand the point of it, and it isn't helping. From what I've been told of CBT, that sounds pretty crap too. Maybe it's just that even once a week, it's not enough.

So I'm just stuck in limbo.

Have you thought about trying working part-time, volunteering, or a hobby? Book clubs maybe? I know this seems quite simplistic but filling your time with something construct can really help.

And at the end of the day other people can only offer advice - YOU have to do what's best for you. Explain how you're feeling, why you think one of these things may be helpful in moving your recovery forward.

I can't work part-time. I have done volunteering, but it takes so much out of me, I got worse at it over time. I have hobbies, but I struggle so much with people, I can't join clubs.

I know it sounds like it makes sense, but I don't know how anything can help, I feel so anxious and down and angry all the time.
