If you're miserable in your current situation you need to go ahead and get out of it. Otherwise eventually some event will trigger an outburst of some sort that forces you to get out in the worst possible way. There have been two occasions in my life where I planned on doing something for a year but became miserable almost immediately. In both those occasions I attempted to stick it out and eventually blew up the way I mention above so left rather quickly as a result of the blow up.
As to the loneliness - you might want to check out some of the Yahoo Messenger Chat Rooms to see if any of the subjects there interest you. Go to the room and discuss the subject as a way to start a conversation. Often you can do private message to people (don't do so until you've asked their permission in the room) when you want to have a one on one conversation.
On line dating sites are another option. Some people make fun of these things but many people have actually met through them. One benefit to these is you can generally get profile information about each other then correspond BEFORE you ever meet so the first meeting is a little less awkward.
As to the drugs - You should be happy you have a doctor that doesn't go to those immediately. My understanding is that they don't so much control your feelings as eliminate them which is NOT a good thing. That is why so many people that really DO need them often quit taking them.
The deal with everything worthwhile is it takes time and effort. Quick fixes very often don't fix anything and are more likely to introduce problems that weren't there before (e.g. chemical dependencies).
I think you are spending far too much time 'asking' for help here..you should start a daily diary, for one...I think if you can afford it, you should go as soon as possible to a PAID doctor, and get the proper diagnosis, probably more like OCD because of your obbessive thoughts that you cannot control on a daily basis...this also contributes to your not being able to leave the house because of your severe anxiety..If everything bothers you as it does,...it is because you are not getting the things in your life that you feel you deserve and need...and unfortunately, you might as well join the club ..but not to sound heartless, because you are struggling with things that are out of your control...you need to get to a paid doctor and get some meds like Luvox, for the OCD, and some XANAX for the anxiety attacks...and then into some good therapy..although, it sounds like you have for the most part figured it out what is and has caused it...but over the years, and from the stress,...it is causing you a severe chemical imbalance,...which is what also causes anxiety and OCD...it is so simple...and you really do not need to suffer like this...My prayers are always with you
i understand what you are saying.
i would advice you to let go of blaming your mother, she did what she thought was good for you at that time and may be robbed you the chance to go to school.
at the end most of us did have a romatic up bring and some of us have also been been victims of sexual abuse at a younger age, but then wont let those who hurt us win.
our lives our what we make of them and is always in our own hands and forever it will be.
now get up and make a promise to your self to be the best that you can be.
30 years is such a beautiflu age to start stilll very young.
it is not late at all, see if you can go to school part time and do a small course that can help you get a small job then with time you expand, we all start somewhere and by taking chances.
i will advise you to stay where you are so you have less to worry about, then once you have managed something like a small job then move, a new life a new housing and a new you with focus,
every where is dangerous for us, every place is not safe, but it is all about who you are and what you stand for and what you are doing there and above all who you hang around.
as for friends, you need no one to make you happy, it firts starts with you, if you are not happy what makes you think that you can make the next person happy?
bad energy will only attract the same people like you which will not help you at all. rememeber birds of the same feathers flok together.
so stand up , it is a new year and new year. feel good about your self and good things will come.positive thoughts brings miracles.
good luck and all the best. i am your friend and i believe in you even though you so far and dont know you.
