Advice please....

[magic number]

I'm having some problems at the moment and finding myself so stressed that I don't quite know how to cope. I have some debts and feel myself getting increasingly tangled in it. Work is going really badly and I stay awake at night worrying about going in to work the next day because I'm scared to find out what I will have done wrong today. I don't really have any friends so I don't really have anyone to confide in and I feel so lonely. I am never in a good mood any more and much of the time I can cry at the smallest comment, even if it wasn't meant to be offensive. I'm begining to take things out on my family but I can't tell them what's wrong. I feel like such a failure because I don't seem to be able to get anything right and I don't know how to get myself out of it. I feel so scared that my forseeable future just holds the same things as it is now and I can't seem to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I know people say you should talk about your problems but I don't want to be a burden on my family, they all have their own problems and I feel too ashamed to tell them how I feel. Can someone please give me some advice because I don't know how long I can carry this all around with me. I just don't know what to do.

How about looking for a new job for starters....and starting that with a new positive attitude.

magic,
i think u should make an appoiment at your doctors firstly and get on some antideppressants , as you sound like you need them
also can u not look for other jobs jobcentre plus (in google) is good , if your work is stressing you out that much you should look for somehing else.

as you don't want to talk to family about your problems , can u not speak to a friend , mabye you should do some vouluntary work to get you out of yourself a bit , why are u ashamed??? its human nature to get fed up , u should really talk to someone are u male ? men never talk ! as for ur lack of friends u could advertise in the friends section of a local paper or join a local club
u must do something
draw up a plan and do it step by step mate xx

Like ummmm said you could get or at least look for a new job and try to think more positive. Try and talk to a family member its better then building things up inside, if you still feel you cant talk to a family member then go and talk to a stranger like a counsillor.

Talk to your family, in my experience, no matter how bad your familys problems are, they wil do everything they can to help emotionally, if not always financially. Go to the doctors and get signed off work for a bit. There is nothing to be ashamed about, about struggling with life, everybody struggles and sometimes it gets on top of you. Use your family and come out kicking, its when you give up that you are a faliure. smile or I kick myself in the ass x

What you need is magic ... maybe some Magic Numbers will do the trick for you. Play the lottery

Also I agree with grumpy, but I wouldn't take medications because they can become addictive; they are not a magic cure.
