Dont know what to do anymore....

I have had chronic back pain and headaches as well as heel spurs since I was around 17. I used to be 300 pounds but had a gastric bypass and am now 172 but the pain is even worse! I dont know how much longer I can make it. I cant keep the apt clean, its so bad. I lost my job but when I get a new one, dont know how I will manage b/c the jobs I do are very physical.

I cant seem to get a job.
I have severe depression and out of meds.
I also have anxiety so that makes job hunting even harder.

I dont know what to do anymore...

I would start by talking to a doctor who can prescribe an antidepressant to help with the anxiety and depression. Once you have a better outlook on things, other things won't seem so out of reach. I've been there too and it's OK to take medication if you need to until you get things back on track.
It will all work out as it is supposed to.
Best Wishes!!
