What a good and well thought out reply! I wish more people thought before they spoke and said things like this to EVERYONE who is in pain.. and not just lash out with knee jerk reactions like too many in this world do . Sadly I’m thinking mostly of doctors in this forest (not USA) when I say this

To the OP, thank you for your bravery in sharing such difficult feelings with us. I’m happy you’ve received such thoughtful and kind replies

The truth is, life for everyone is a struggle. We are all fighting through each day just trying to be happy. Even the most successful, social, popular, beloved people, they are just fighting through each day trying their very best to be happy. There aren't any winners or losers in life. Eventually in life everyone faces one loss after another. It's what you want to hold onto that matters the most.

You are not a failure, you are a human being who didn't have control over the circumstances that brought you into life and set the course of your early life, as people we really don't have control of much anyway, just a series of thoughts and choices that we make.

You are judging yourself because you feel like you should be something or should have reached a point you didn't reach yet, but, the truth is that all you could have been is where you are right now. You didn't fail anything, you just tried the best you could up until this point.

I know it must feel really awful but things in life can really change, however they change from where you are at right now, and not where you think you are supposed to be. Try not to compare yourself to others, it's all relative and your life only makes any sense when looked at as its own unique story.

All that matters is your thoughts and your choices, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, so I would encourage you to try to think about your situation differently, try to see and focus on the things in your life, no matter how small, that YOU genuinely enjoy and want more of. Please be compassionate towards yourself.
