What kind of options exist for those of us who realize that we are incapable of successfully contributing to society? There has to be lepers colonies we can get shipped off to, where we can stop being such a bother to everyone. What kind of steps need to be followed to officially give up, without committing the big NO?

Our only option is to face life as it has been given to us. Sometimes we have to take a break and shut the world out for a little while. Curl up in bed for a while. That's about as close as we get to escaping. But when it comes down to it our only choice is life, good are bad, it is ours to live. Some of us have to struggle more than others.

I feel this way too. That doesn't help much I know, but I sometimes feel so useless. Such a bother. I try to keep moving forward. Sometimes it is one step forward and three or four steps back.

i also feel this way- worthless and hopeless, but i also feel rushed and against the clock to find something to make me happy... and believe me, that feeling is much worse than the feeling you've failed.

i hope we can both find the strength to cary on

I know the feeling

One foot infront of the other until we get through.

Don't forget that the illness lies to us when we are depressed saying all kind of negative things.

Also society puts crazy importance on all kinds of things that are not really important. Don't let society say you are not valuable just because you don't play by their rules.
