How has Anxiety and Depression affected your life?
I am currently 29 years old, will turn 30 this year. Been dealing with Anxiety and Depression for about 8yrs. To be honest, it has ruined my life. I missed out on so many things that most people do in their 20's. Like going out on dates, going to clubs, parties, Friday night out etc... All I really do is stay home, go to work, Play Football (soccer) with friends. Both friendly and competitive.
I was full of potential when I was young both when it came to academics and Football (soccer) the majority of people I ever play with tell me I could of gone pro. Never followed that dream due to personal problems. Something I regret to this day. Stayed in NYC for college, I should of went out of state and had the real college experience. But decided to stay in NYC. Something I also regret to this day.
Right now I work as a Graphic designer for a small company making decent money. I still live with my parents, helping them with bills and things around the house. Plan to move out soon. Hopefully out of NYC, I have love for NYC but it's not like it use to be. Too many high rises going up and more and more people moving in.
My love life is non-existent. Mainly because everyone thinks I'm in high school. I mostly get hit on by high school girls which is awkward. Not really use to dating since I was never attractive to girls when I was in school. I get more attention now, people tell me I glo'd up late.
For the future, I really want to travel and backpack a few countries. Seeing new things, meeting new people (especially women) and to just really experience life. I know I lost out on a lot things and opportunities. However I still feel I have a lot to offer.
One movie, or movie character they perfectly describes me and my life Is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"
