hey I was in a pretty similar situation but instead of ending it I went to the doctor because what else did I have to lose if I was just going to end it?

She put me on a generic version of xanax and I've been on it for two years now and everything has changed. It changed slowly but now I don't even need the medicine to leave the house. Everything isn't perfect of course but nothing ever is.

TL;DR Go to a doctor and tell them what you just told us minus the suicidal part because they don't like that. They'll put you on anxiety medication and as long as you don't abuse it you'll be fine.

Are you just generally anxious all the time, or is something in particular causing this anxiety? Try to pinpoint exactly what's causing it. If you can find no reason, then try to see a psychiatrist.

Its 3 things. The health of a loved one, the end of a relationship of a loved one, and my future (most important).

I can't control any of it. What's done is done and what happens as a result is inevitable.

I honestly am struggling to breath, I feel like j can't leave my room, I feel like I have to kill myself.

Won't completely deflate your anxiety, but try just dropping everything now and doing three sets of ten pushups. That should alleviate your anxiety enough so you can think clearly. Then think of someone you love and trust, and call that person. You don't have to talk about anxiety; just talking about anything will help.

Once you've gotten your anxiety to manageable levels, try making a list about your future. List your concerns, and list the things you need to do. That always helps me to reduce worrying.

I haven't got a single person on this planet to tell...
I'm not exaggerating, I honestly have no one.

Well then talk to me. As an oldfag, I've had plenty of difficult times. Working through them gives me some perspective; believe me, I'm sure you can't see it right now, but you WILL eventually feel normal again.

So, tell me: What is it about your future that's worrying you?
