I'm at a bad stage of my life: unemployed, at home with my mother not paying rent or anything, feeling numb, lost daily routine and started to wake up pretty late in the evening.
I lost track, I'm getting crazy and no one wants to hire me.
In case I get out of this situation I know I can't let this happen again in my life, I got no one else to cover me for my shit, I think i risk becoming homeless in future and I'd rather die in that case.
At the same time everyone wants me to see a shrinker.

Don't give up. It's okay to feel stuck for awhile, but don't stay stuck. I was in a similar boat before, I probably submitted 50 applications per day until someone hired me..for 3 months I was jobless but I never gave up...that was 3 years ago. I have anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. Find a job that you love to do or close to your passions... Right now I have a job that probably anyone would dream of, but salary isn't everything. It's mental health for me... so I've been silently applying to jobs that I think I might love even though I'm stressed. You know, like if you only had to do one thing in this lifetime, what would it be... I wish you the best.

i agree with 👆. They clearly have experience and good suggestions.

I’m so sorry, you are dealing with a lot. A “shrinker” isn’t going to help you except take your money. Join some groups, community center in your city, see what is going on at the library, take walks in the neighborhood, Make or take care of a garden in your mother’s yard. Stay busy in a schedule.
Spend X amount of time gardening, X amount of time looking for work, X amount of time activity involved in things in your community/city, find a local church to attend (churches have a lot of activities). Schedule everything in to a daily routine. Keep the house clean for your mother. Just get out of the pit your in. There is also a book by Beth Moore you can read relating to this - ‘GET OUT OF THAT (or the) PIT’. It’s a good book.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.
