Hi @del81
Welcome to our forum & community here.
I'm sorry you are struggling and also had people in your life not treating you well- you deserve better !
A lot of your story resonates with me and what I have found helpful is to set yourself some goals and perhaps start by taking some steps towards this. Plus do some activities that ground you and make friends with others that share similar interests to you.
I share some of your feelings and thoughts too. I have been on the forum for a few months now I think but I am finding everyone to be so down to earth and friendly which makes it easy to connect and share what is happening for you without judegement.
To tackle the unmotivation and anxious feelings what as helped me most is exercise, structure, goal setting, social activities, and the key is to be consistent with this- I know at times you will not what to do this but it takes 21 days to break a habit. Another tip is to journal your progress, and that mite help motivate you to stay on track.

Hi @Del81 just wanted to jump in and say welcome to the Forums! Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself and share a bit about what led you to join the community. I hope you will come to meet many friends here - ones that you feel more comfortable sharing your struggles with. Sounds like you have been having a 'spring-clean' of sort recently, clearing out the negative people in your life? Was this partly what lead you to also quit your job? Look forward to hearing more of your story.

Hi again del81
I'm struggling too atm and feeling a bit stuck. I think the first step is to get into some structure and I understand how you feel lonely. You need to find a purpose and perhaps do some volunteer work if you are not working atm- you mite be able to meet some new people there.
