I feel desperate and alone. I need help.
I'm a 24y.o. male. I just moved to a new city after graduation. I don't have any friends here. I learned I have rheumatoid arthritis. My knees and my back pain is killing me. I'm about to get fired from my job because I couldn't attend thanks to the pain and inflammation. My girlfriend of 4.5 years just left me. We've been living together for the 4 years of my life except this month. I'm really depressed and I'm not able to get professional help in any way. I used to cry really rare, once a few years but nowadays I'm crying a few times a day. I feel like my life is ruined and I studied engineering for shit. Spent best of my years for a fucking diploma paper and now i feel i'm almost paralyzed. I tried using connected2me and tinder shit for the first time for some social interaction, didn't work. I don't know how, but please help
