But what would I do and would it be better than just sitting and toiling away with what I already do. I don't think I can do what I already do forever. There needs to be something more. I keep seeing others becomeing more. I don't know how to handle this feeling. Its an old feeling I've pushed away. I am not supposed to feel like this anymore. I deserve a chance just as much as the next person. I don't want to feel worthless anymore. I don't want to feel as if I am undeserving. I realize I have ambivilance over it all. Who doesn't. For some reason right now I feel as if I may already be a failure. Always being surpassed overlooked outshadowed. Treated as if I don't know anything or how to do anything. I really don't enjoy this

Hi Bridgie,
As I read your post I feel as though I could have written something so similar... I can really relate. I think that depression can really make us feel so inadequate and unsure of ourselves. Just tonight actually I found myself making comparisons to someone I went to college with. But it's not fair... first I don't really know what's going on in his life, second, maybe he didn't have the struggles I did. Or maybe he has/had different ones. It's just not accurate to compare ourselves to other people.
