Most of the reason i feel like a failure, i think is that i dont have a job. Im always worried that people think Im lazy or something because of it. I do feel lazy lately, though. Its hard to do anything, i just want to sleep all the time. When i am working, my self esttem is a lot better, but i never feel completely "right". I am trying to find a job now.
I am seeing a new therapist in a couple weeks.
Just needed some advice i guess, very unmotivated. Does anybody else have similar problems?

i understand completely!!! Hang in there!!! I used to work 50-60 hours a week until I tore my rotator cuff and bisep muscle and was out of work due to surgery etc. Then while I was out with my shoulder the Dr told me that he could do simple knee surgery and I would be up walking in 3 days and back to work in no time!! While I haven't worked since because my dumb *** Dr screwed my knee up and I ended up in a wheelchair for 3 years. So yes, I understand completely. I too felt much better when I was able to work!!! I now cannot work and I am on disability and it really hurts because I struggle on a daily basis to pay bills and put food in my sons belly!!!
I wish you ;luck on finding a job!!!

Redbandit, any time you are trying to make a change in your life for the better is a sign of strength, not failure. Things may not always go the way we want it, but at least you are trying. I can't hold a job, but at least I have tried. Keep positive despite everything else.

I feel much better when i am working, too (part time is all i can handle though). There are times when work isn't possible...so can you look for satisfaction in doing one really solid household chore per day? That is what i did when i was unemployed for about a year. I had to give myself some structure and just choose to set a "house cleaning" schedule to give me something to measure my efforts. Silly, but it made me feel better : ).
