I can never be the person I want to be, I have already made to many mistakes have to many skeletons in my closet. I also just don’t seem to have the energy level of nearly all other people that I know, they are able to focus and get really ambitious projects done or at least stay busy and I just can’t do those things. So why even bother at all? I am a burden or an embarrassment to my family and I neither see any way that I can be of benefit to anyone, or anything that life has to offer me.

I have started on meds again I haven't messaged my counselor since January  and now I'm almost afraid to she'll think I died. Besides it doesn't really seem to be helping NOTHING EVER CHANGES. I wish I could find my old therapist I had about 7 years ago. I felt I could really open up with them and tell them everything that is going on with me, but I don't know how to find them again.

I also believe that having a genuine confidant is priceless and rare.

Yes I miss having a truly trusted confidante so much.

I feel that way now. Why bother? I haven't been bothering for a month now. It's hard to believe not long ago, before the pandemic, I was on top of the world and full of goals and expectations.
It's depression telling you (and me) negative things like this---that nothing can get better. We can't be like other people. You're not at your best right now, and it isn't your fault, either. It's like being sick and it's impossible to be doing as well as if we weren't sick. It's impossible to see things clearly when you're down. I hope you find the help that you need, soon. |

One of the hardest parts for me is looking at the people I admire (I won’t share any specific names because it doesn’t matter anyway) and thinking I can never be like them I have already screwed up.

Feel free to ignore the questions. (These are very roughly similar to questions I've asked myself.)
1. "I can never be like them" 2. "I have already screwed up." What is the relationship between 1 and 2? Is it possible you "can never be like them" for reasons other than "I have already screwed up?" Is there an attainable "you," relatively undefined by "them," to which you can realistically aspire? __________________ My dog mastered the "fetch" command.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
