Ooooo anxiety your first day on the job, yeah no one else ever experiences that.
Like i said, there are jobs in your area, you just don't want them.
What you view as depression I view as you being a snot. You view everything in your life as crappy and part of that is your age.
Here is your quote:
"Young and immature? Tell that to the millions of people who have the exact same problems that are 20+, 40+, 60+. This has nothing to do with my age."
My point being your age affects your view of the world which is why you think you are depressed. As you get older your view of the world changes so not everything sucks.
"the way I think because of depression, has nothing to do with my age."
Flip it, the way you percieve things in the world makes you think you're depressed.
So what's funny about a high iron content in the potable water causing people spinal problems?
"Water around here gives people spinal problems or some shit lol.. So much iron in the water it looks cloudy."
How long have you been drug free? Were your friends druggies and depressed souls too? Comming off of an addiction can make you think life sucks.
"Umm.. poverty.. uh.. living in a secluded area my whole life."
How does anyone grow up in these conditions? Oh wait... they do.
If you REALLY wanted to get out of that place/town you would, but you don't.
No, I'm not going to spell it out for you like Kaido did.
Well.. some people laugh instead of cry sometimes, smile instead of frown. Idk why but I'm like that.
Anxiety on first day is one thing. But to almost have a panic attack thats another (hah I almost lol'd again). I think it was just the fast food environment. I mean, it's easy work and all.. but all the people I was working with were soo horrible.. they kept telling me to make so and so and they never even showed me how to make it! So how the hell am I suppose to know? And when I told them I had no idea how to do it they just kept giving me go to hell looks.. so eventually I started to freak out because they kept doing this and I eventually started not being able to breathe and I couldn't sit still.. I really really really needed to be alone.. People who have had panic attacks know what I mean, and it fucking sucks when you're stuck around people about to have one. Luckily right when I walked up the shift manager to tell her I seriously had to go, the second I opened my mouth she said that she thought I had worked long enough (6 hours) for my first day and I could go ahead n go, they didn't need the help. Maybe she could just tell I was freaking out.. idk. I never went back though lol.
It's pretty easy for me to get jobs though after I find places that are hiring. The few jobs I got, every manager loved me after the interview. The fast food place usually has 2 interviews but I didn't do the 2nd cause when I got there the assistant manager told me the manager was talking about how she really liked me and blahblah. Something like "idk what you said but the manager is completely sold on you. We don't even have to do this interview because when it comes down too it she makes all the decisions and I don't think she'd let me say no to you" lol.. idk what that means.. but I've always had a easy time getting jobs, even if there are lots of people applying. So if I can just fix myself a little bit I think I can get a job pretty easy as long as I can find one, and working makes me feel really good about myself. (obviously) And that is what I'm hoping I can do here soon.
My point being your age affects your view of the world which is why you think you are depressed. As you get older your view of the world changes so not everything sucks.
You still don't seem to get it... Having severe depression, regardless of your age, life will suck balls. Are you even aware that the highest suicide rate is men over 60? I realize that is somewhat due to illness and such, but I'm sure a lot of old dudes are just like.. life sucks balls and I've already seen all there is. I'm done.
Regardless of age, if you are depressed, life will suck. I do not think I am depressed because I am 19, I think I am depressed because I am literally depressed. If that made any sense then every young person would be severely depressed and there would be no older people with depression.
"Umm.. poverty.. uh.. living in a secluded area my whole life."

Exactly. And some people have depression, and some people don't. Some people aren't bothered at all by living in shit and having a crappy family. I know people who are completely fine with their lives and they are worse off than me. Sure they think it sucks but it doesn't get them down. On the other hand, I know people better off than me by far, and they feel like completely shit 24/7.
You really don't understand people very well...
If you REALLY wanted to get out of that place/town you would, but you don't.
No, I'm not going to spell it out for you like Kaido did.
How blow truckers for rides? What about money? Shelter? Where the hell am I suppose to be going? lol Sorry life isn't that easy. I can't just walk to the bank, grab my millions in cash and go on my merry way. There is things I have to do before I can leave.
1. I started getting up earlier, rather than going to sleep earlier. An interesting distinction. If I try to go to bed when I am not tired and ready to sleep, I end up laying in bed for hours trying to get to sleep. I hate it, so I don't do it. Lately I have been getting up at 8am everyday. That might not sound early, but I work an 11-7 shift and previously I would wake up at 10 or so and quickly shower and head to work, now I have a lot more time in the morning.
Yeah I started doing that.. I'm not sure if I can go to bed at 9 every night.. Maybe if I wake up at 4 am and exercise a lot during the day.. but idk.. I woke up early today, and didn't go to bed till like 1 and I feel better. I've been drinking water as well and eating 3 meals. I'm one of those people who don't eat then they are depressed (some people eat a lot). So I was down to eating like once (if that) a day. and even then, it would only be a little meal.
