Hi Byzantine, How do I plan on turning my life around. That is the ultimate question. I feel like I've tried so many things that either didn't work at all or just worked temporarily. It sounds so simple. Just take care of myself. I should try to make new friends...surround myself with people. Exercise, sleeping, and eating better would help me feel better. The thing is, maybe I don't want to get better. I just must hate myself. I am just kidding myself to think I will actually amount to anything. I feel so frustrated at myself. I just can't stop these feelings turning around into critical thoughts. If I could only just step back and give myself a break. It's just perpetual criticism that won't stop.
