My situation isn't as bad financially maybe but I feel just as grim. I'm 31 living off my parents. Life long major depression, social anxiety and self diagnosed avoidant personality, so you see we are pretty similar. I've manged to hold down retail jobs in the past for a couple of years at a time but they would inevitably end in a breakdown. I've spent 10 years at one university or another trying to get some kind of degree with not much to show for it. It's getting late in the day for me and my parents can't look after me much longer, nor should they. I wish they would kick me out. I'd likely become a street alcoholic or something but I don't want to be a burden on them much longer.
I can't help you much as to what to do with stress as I usually just let it build up till I start binge brinking and I cave and have a breakdown. I know what helps me from day to day, hot baths, sleep etc. But those don't do much long term. I'm on medication as well which only helps a little.
Hugs!
