How do I dedicate my life to helping others?
I'm MAJORLY clinically depressed. I'm very mentally disabled. I literally can't work or drive, because it gives me too much anxiety and stress, like if you could be in my mind for one second, you'd literally want to kill yourself. I can't even explain how horrible my anxiety and depression is every second of everyday. I've literally spent years trying to cure it, but it just all seems to get worse every single day.
I'm not trying to make it permanent in my mind that that's how I'll always be. I'm not sure, it's just how I feel because it's so bad.
I love to walk though. So I can walk a little ways to help people, but not much. I love the elderly with all my heart. I love animals and babies with all my heart as well. Basically, I love every living thing with all my heart. And all I've ever wanted to do was help people and make people as happy as I possibly can.
But I just don't know what to do. I feel this is my purpose in life. I feel that's why God made me, but I just don't know how to help anyone.
May anyone give me a list of examples to help people, please? (I live in a small town, btw.)

YOur wanting to help people is a way of trying to have some purpose, some plan and direction in life. However your disabilities prevent you from being able to do all that most people can in an average day.
You wrote that you spent years trying to cure it. That means you, not a professional. I do not know if you've seen any professionals and tried medications. Usually when someone is so crippled by depression and stress and anxiety as you are, it means that you can not be helped by anything other than medication. However, I do know that many psychologists are not highly trained in non medicinal ways to treat what you have and just give meds. There are only a small percent of people for whom meds are needed for depression. Depression occurs when your body is unable to produce important neuro transmitters on its own and so an imitation of the real thing is given to people to do the work of those 'feel good hormones'. Anxiety is something i used to have, and prayed to God and what he told me to do was exactly the same as what I read in a book recently. NOt reading for myself but to know of things I can recommend to others. I am cured. I discovered that distorted thinking causes anxieties and it takes a specially trained doctor in CBT cognitive behavioral therapy to actually help a person get past any of their excuses, dwelling on wrong things, etc. and find relief. I know how crippling my anxiety alone was for me. I get stress too even tho I am mentally healthy now. But stress can happen to anyone. Stress untreated by simple home remedy type of tricks you can easily do every day will keep it at bay. If you'd like to hear more, let me know. Otherwise, there isn't much you can do but walk to a neighbors to help them garden or walk someones dog.
