no self confidence

I have never been diagnosed with depression, but the older i get the worse i seem to fear everything - (im 33 for reference)

i can't socialise properly, im scared of people. im terribly confused about what to do with my life because im too afraid to take the plunge into something new- i can't stand up for myself in conflicted situations and always give in to keep the peace. I basically hate who i have become. My home life is unsettling. where do i go from here.

Hi blues,

I think the first step woukd be to see your GP. I know that can be scary admitting out loud how you feel. Have you got a good support network at all? Friends or family?

I think posting here was a great choice and you'll be able to receive so much love and care from the members here.

I have very little self confidence but this year i took up walking and jogging around the streets. It honestly has helped improve my outlook on things. I haven't been for a couple weeks now because I've been in a rut. But i plan to get back into it as soon as i feel up to it. Might have to force myself.
