I'm curious, if you have no family and you don't work, what are you living on? What's your living situation. I'm trying to imagine how that's working to the extent that you're not massively and urgently motivated to get a job.

And really, people are right that you should get help, if you can, but unless you have extremely and uncommonly serious mental health issues (not just run of the mill depression and anxiety, which it certainly sounds like you do have) the best thing you can do is FORCE yourself to go out there and take whatever kind of job you can get that isn't illegal and doesn't risk life and limb. If you don't like the job, if the people there aren't very nice to you, if it doesn't make you happy, if it doesn't fulfill you, if it's boring, if it makes your feet hurt, etc? Suck it up. You're 23, it won't kill you. I know that sounds unkind, but I believe it's what you need to hear.

The best thing you can do for yourself if to find a job and unless you're actually being BEATEN or something keep the job until you can find something better. Some people have the luxury of being able to quit a job they don't like--people who have spouses to support them, people who don't mind mooching off of their parents, people with trust funds, etc. I'm a single person without other people or funds to support me, so I know I have to suck it up when a job sucks. The good side of that is that sometimes by sticking it out the job ends up getting better.

I like my job a lot most of the time, it really works for me, but when I started there I hated it. Also, when I got the job I was just off of a major depressive episode that involved brief hospitalization, but I had no choice but to support myself so I got out of the hospital, got my ass in gear, pasted on a smiley face and went on interviews. Anyway, one coworker was a massive bitch to me all the time, another called me names, it sucked for well over a year. But I kept it because I needed that goddamn job. And after a while the guy who called me names quit, and the massive bitch got fired, and I got a raise. Result of sucking it up: steady job that doesn't make me unhappy and pays my bills. :D
