HI Steve,
I'm sorry you too are going through these feelings of guilt. It's not fun, but I feel like you do, I deserve it.
By giving up, I mean just to stop trying to get better because I've done that and it hasn't work. I've done all I can to try and turn things around for me, but I'm stuck. I'm just ready to accept that this is the way I have to live. I'm tired of going around pretending to be happy,, putting on a fake smile just to please someone else because I think it's not okay for me to feel bad. I'm done with that.
I agree that helping others is a good thing. I'd love to this, but with my low self-esteem, lack of confidence, my extremely depressed mental state, and so many unresolved emotional wounds that have not yet healed, I could never pull off helping anyone else. I feel like if I can't even help myself, then how can I expect my help to do anyone else any good.
Thanks for your response to my post.

If by giving up, you mean isolating yourself or letting yourself be depressed, then that happens to all of us. If by giving up you mean really giving up, then try to follow the advice given above by adam and pierro. Try to just read about others. That helps me sometimes. So does helping others.
