thank you, zen  ,for taking the time to reply to my post. there are things bothering you and i've felt very much like you do now. it is a lonely place and i remember thinking that it took so much mental energy to just get through the day. i used to say i was helpless and hopeless. that i didn't do life well, as i said in the previous post.
can you draw a line down a piece of paper and title one side assets and the other liabilities? the assets are things you believe are "good' things you like about yourself. the liabilities would be things like you posted..have no job, etc. if you really work at these lists i think you will be surprised at what you see. for example, i bet you are a very good friend to your 2 friends or they wouldn't be your friend! that's an asset.
hope this helps you. hang onto the hope that things can improve.  if it happened to me, it can happen to you. try to do that list, k?
