More and more recently I've just been feeling like "What's the point?" When I think about the future I see nothing.

I've started to feel sort of distant from my girlfriend as well. We've been together nearly 4 years and I'm happy I guess but I just feel like she would be better off with someone else.

I couldn't stand school either and as a result I ended up missing most of it and I ended up with no qualifications. And I have really bad anxiety problems, and with being by myself and being around people I don't know, so the thought of getting a job is hopeless.

Just meh....

Recommend that you seek counseling if not already done and you could even go to a support group for people with anxiety. As far as obtaining a job recommend that you look for a job that would not make you feel overwhelmed as far as the need for skills or sensory overload (if that could be an issue). Good luck. 8)

You've pinpointed feeling hopeless and identifed several reasons for how you could have gotten to that point. Having that insight puts you a step ahead for starters. Now you've identified the issues, the next step is to find some help. Are you seeing a doctor about the anxiety? First address that issue, as trying to deal with education and job hunting and relationship problems is too much all at once. How about making that a priority first step goal?

Then when the anxiety is under control, start researching education and job opportunities. All these issues have solutions - just take it one step at a time.
