I feel like in therapy, I've come a long way.

On the other hand, when I look at my life, I am such a disappointment to myself.

How do you guys continue to cope and find ways to keep moving forward in your life, even when you hit wall after wall?

I feel like I'm moving forward, only to be pushed back to where I was before. I want to move past self harming and thoughts of suicide and live life with happiness and joy.

No matter what I do to love forward, it's like I always slip back. For example, I've been interviewing to move up in my career and haven't yet been successful. I tried a different route to gain more experience and up my cash flow and I was unsuccessful with that, too.

I just can't get ahead and stay ahead.

At what point do you just give up? Surely life isn't meant to be such a struggle [emoji20].

I have a great T, but ultimately I make the choices and even with support, I am not finding any success.
