Need some guidance, feeling overwhelmed

Hey everyone. I've been going through a really tough period. Can't find a job, dealing with harsh words from my family daily, and stuck since I can't move out without work. The pressure to marry someone my family chooses is there, and they don't seem to respect me at all. A lot of my friends have drifted away because I've been isolated so much. Interviews don't go well, I might have some health issues like diabetes and jaw problems but my family isn't helping me get to a doctor. Years of this have made it hard for me to even make my own choices. At the mosque and around relatives, being unmarried brings a lot of shame and I feel unsupported. I know others are facing bigger hardships, like in Palestine and Lebanon, but after 25 years of this daily struggle, my mind is just exhausted. I pray to Allah for help every day, but I'm still waiting for relief. I'm so tired. Sometimes I think about giving up, but I'm worried about what that means. It feels like my life hasn't really started yet. Any advice or kind words would mean a lot. Jazakallah khair for listening.

Your struggle is so real. Please don't compare your pain to others-it's still valid. Keep making dua, sis. Allah sees your patience. Maybe speak to an imam for support?
