Ever feel like a complete failure as a human?

I do every day.

I can’t do the most basic things, I can’t cope with life, I can’t be trusted with any independence.

I look at what people my age are doing, people have such full lives and I’m stuck here, being supervised 24/7 unable to leave the house, barely existing. What’s the point? What am I fighting for? There literally seems no point to keep going just so I can have more days in this awful existence.

OK. As long as you know that all those things you mentioned are just reinforcing the negative. Doesn't have to be that way. Thoughts become things. You run you. You're choosing you're own path.
I'm 100 percent sure there's billions of people in the world who don't have anything CLOSE to what you have. Things like indoor plumbing, reliable food access and electricity, personal safety and on and on. Hell, you have your sight and you're clearly not mentally handicapped. So you have a lot to be GRATEFUL for. Why not choose that? It's easy.

@Ynotisay it’s not a fucking competition

@DeadSophie You're right. So why did you feel the need to mention other people with full lives? That's the competition. Being grateful for what you do have isn't. Big difference. If you're looking for sympathy from anonymous strangers then some will give it to you. And the pattern will continue. I gave you the truth. Don't want to accept it? Whatever. Your call. Because, again, you run you. Good luck.

@Ynotisay no you were condescending and gave a ridiculous comparison. Saying that my mental health is a choice is about as insulting as you can get when you have no fucking clue about my life. I’m not looking for sympathy, how will that help me? I’m simply venting some of the shit that’s in my mind. I didn’t ask for your opinion and I don’t want it

@DeadSophie OK.Then I'll answer the question you posed. No. I don't ever feel like a failure as a human being. I appreciate what I have. That eliminates any sense of failure. Full stop. You could walk out the door right now and do something kind for someone else. Help an older person, make a kid smile. Hell, pick up a piece of trash on the ground and throw it away. Failure over. Just that fast. You've made the world a better place and that good feeling comes back to you. But that's your call. No need to respond, ok? You do you.

@Ynotisay evidently you know fuck all about mental health if you think picking up a piece of litter is a cure. Just move on and be a do gooder elsewhere

@DeadSophie Interestingly enough I actually do. I've written on the topic for publication. I'm up to speed. Which is why I said what I said. But a do gooder? For actually trying to help? OK. Kiss off. Wallow in self pity. Your life. I'm done.
