    What country? City or small town? Do you live with parents, on your own, do you support yourself? Do you have health insurance, and is there any kind of counseling near you?
    The context of your life matters in how we answer.

    Since you didn't respond to Joy's questions, I'm going to post based on what's available where I live.

    See your doctor, ask if you're eligible for anti-depressants, and also ask for a referral to a therapist.

    Your 22, you are a adult, yes things from our childhold can effect us. But we as adults have to make choices.

    So you get counseling and try to adjust your life.
