Believe me, I totally know what it feels like to be in your shoes. I wish I didn't. Open Eyes said so many good things here. I would ask, why aren't you putting all this time and energy into YOUR happiness, into your future plans? It is time to get passionate about you and your life. You do have good insight. Now use it to see how these issues apply to your own life?

Biologically, everyone's first responsibility is to themselves.. but I consider myself of so little value that despite pain it may cause me, i believe it better to focus primarily on others.. Open Eyes always has good advice.. several of the people here on psych central do, but it's one thing to hear good advice and know on some level that you Should do as advised.. and it's another thing altogether to actually muster up whatever it takes and Do it...
