My wife and son left me last year and ever since I have had extreme aniexty and deppression. I am recently unemployed and I cant find any reason to get out of bed. I sleep most of the day as it feels better than being awake with these terrible feelings. I am using the program but still think about being all alone with no family and no job constantly.
I have tried to find group session in my area (gainesville fl) but cant seem to find any. Can anyone help?
I am all alone

I'm sorry this happened to you! I cant't say that I know how you feel, but you have to FORCE yourself out of that bed and do anything! Take a walk, read a funny book, call someone positive, listen to music (NO sappy stuff), watch a funny movie or cartoon. ANYTHING but the bed.
That bed will zap all of you energy and make your anxiety worse.
Take vitamins and Omega 3 oils (helps with your mood).
As difficult as it is, you have to force yourself to think POSITIVE about EVERYTHING!
My special words were "It's not that serious" or "It's no big deal". IT WORKS!
Every time I started thinking "POOR ME" thoughts, I'd say one of these. And by them being TRUE, I started believing them. And what I thought were serious problems, started seeming less serious.
You can't make them come back, but you can make it not affect you so much. Things happen. But you gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and live your life the best that you can.
Once you get yourself mentally on track, you can start looking for a job. That's gonna really increase your self esteem.
Go online and look for some free counseling services.
Meet people. Go to bookstores, LIbraries, museums,or whatever you like to do, to meet people so that you won't feel so alone. When you start meeting people and talking to people you will start feeling a lot better.
I use to stress out over negative things people did to me. At that time I had a therapist. My therapist would tell me that once I become focused on myself, negative things that other people do, or say won't be important to me anymore.
HE WAS RIGHT!
He told me to do things that took care of me, whatever made me happy.
That helped me so much!
I really hope something I've said helps you. You will get through this. You have to start somewhere though. Start by getting out of that bed Sir!
