I have the same. In my 30s and have only had a few jobs, which I couldn't keep for more than 4 months. I do have an education but it is really useless, and anyway I can't keep jobs because they overwhelm me- people overwhelm me- most "normal things" that other people do just overwhelm me eventually.

But the thing is, we can't measure ourselves by the same standards as others. And btw many others, which we see as "normal", can barely measure themselves with those standards either, even though they try to appear as they can....

Judging from your posts here I would say that someone like you for me has a huge value as a human being,and that I would much rather be friends with someone like you than with someone who "has it all"- (except that they don't have the deep understanding of mental suffering). Besides your understanding of complicated mental struggles you probably have many qualities in other fields which you can't think of right now when you are feeling low.

I know when I feel like a failure I think I am nothing, nothing. And I forget small things that others see.
