I have really messed up and made some mistakes with that and I'm also starting to feel the severity of this problem because of how many times this has happened. I'm so angry at myself for this, and getting tired of constantly regretting past mistakes. I feel like I'm failing at life more than anyone else and I wonder if something's wrong with me. I look around me and all of my friends or people I know seem to be doing better than me in some way or another or have more of a reason to wake up. My whole life just doesn't feel right at all and I don't really feel like I'm living life like I should. Most days are very boring and I'm getting bored with many things and I can hardly think of anything interesting to do. I'm trying to come up with ways to improve my life and am really thinking about going back to school. I'm uncertain of what trade or career to go after, but I have a meeting to talk to a counselor. I'm so depressed, overwhelmed, and stressed out to the point where I can't even think straight or fully concentrate on things sometimes and my mind feels clouded and I constantly feel weighed down. Even doing things I love like practicing music is hard to concentrate on, or sometimes hard to motivate myself to do because it's like what's the point anymore. Why am I here and why do I live? I've been asking myself that question a lot lately. I'm tired of waking up everyday like this having regrets and feeling so empty all the time. I don't know what I should do with my life or what will make me happy.

Sounds like your taking the first major step....going back to school....meeting with a counselor...change can be for the good...might take you some fairly large steps before you succeed....maybe you find the right direction fairly fast...best of luck.....
