How do I move on
My job forced me to go on unpaid leave due to my panic attacks. I’m in so much pain all the time due to my back Injury 1.5 years ago. I don’t have anything to live for anymore
What do I do

If you are on unpaid leave you are still employed and your employer has a duty of care towards you. I suggest contacting HR and asking them to signpost you to sources of financial, medical and mental health support.
Are you eligible for government assistance? If you don't know, you can ask your local public library to help you find out how to enquire.
There are non profits in most areas that can give you advice on housing, debt, and any other issues you may be facing.
There is help out there and there are people who want to help you to move forward and get more out of life.
