mdarlington Welcome!! I also feel like a failure mainly because i don't work ouside of my home, i am a homemaker i am 53 now but remember being in college and it was very stressful and i had on and off jobs since i was 15. I finally got burn out and couldn't do anything anymore. I ended up on the pshyc ward after a couple of vehicle accidents as a passenger and a pedistrian. I a on meds now for over 20 years and feel alot better but i do have bad days still. One thing that is bothering me now is my son is going through the same thing we did and he also had a suicide attempt. I had head injuries and broken bones fro the accident too. In spite of all that im here still, don't know why, but i need to be there for family. Not everybody is cut out for college either, there is nothing wrong with that either
