How can I stop feeling like a failure?

Yeah. I just feel like teetering in being good somehow. I grasp onto my kids and my photography but past that I feel I suck.

This time of year is and can be just horrid for people... If I was at home instead of seeing my daughter I would most likely feel the same way.

You don't suck, you have valid concerns and worries. You have bills, housing worries, medical concerns and other normal typical concerns.

Remember you can not fix everything at one time. maybe try to just turn off or ignore all that nonsense and just focus on your kids and whatever happy stuff you can grasp onto.

Then start slowly chipping away at one problem at a time. before you know it your ducks will soon be heading into a row and you will feel more in control.

Please hang in there Moose

These problems just seem too big and have for too long.

So, pull out your lil pick ax and start chipping away slowly at the big problems. Talk over these concerns with your T, I'm sure they can point your towards help you may not even know about.

No problem is too big for the human mind to conquer. It just takes time, research and devlopment, and, unfortunately, money. You can do it, J. I believe in you!

Well I do believe in my new T. My old one never got me very far. I see my new one in a few days.

After only 3 weeks I am feeling results from working out so that's positive. I'm very happy about that.

Keep up the good work!

There ya go Moose ! Good thing to focus on

I think tonight I'm going to finish watching a movie with my youngest.

I'm out with my friend right now feeling I need to get back to my kids.

Watch "Justified". The TV series. I haven't watched it yet, but the commercial was just on and it was engaging. No one can feel like a failure when you're living through the eyes of a real life** bad ***.

Great show!

Moosie-I know it's tough, it sounds like you made a couple of good choices, though. I can learn from you.

Awww.... Thank you.

That is fantastic news, Moose! Also, three kids and your photography, the things you do feel good about, are huge. Kids are more important than money matters although I know that you will solve the money issues with time and believing in yourself.

Worked out again today. See my T tomorrow. Wonder how that will go.

i'm going to go google "How can I feel better about myself." Hopefully it won't be a list of pages by drug manufacturers. As long as you're doing something, you're not a failure. Look at all the people who have responded.
