I really can't. I used to have an apartment and a job, but I also had a boyfriend/husband. Alone Ijust cant figure out how to do this. I just can't figure out how to get a job that will support me and mý kids. I have had this problem for years and years and years. This is why I hate my life. Why I want to not be here anymore. I suck. I really suck.

I was 36 months into service with the navy doing tech support, job was cake, jad limited to no supervision...Then mood swings started, I stopped going to the gym failed psychical fitness , I got an achievement award and got kicked out.

I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I'm living in my sisters old room as my niece uses my old room for sleep overs. I can't handle a campus, I'm barely functioning.

I'm crying right now.

What's the point of life, why do I feel like I'm one who didn't get the mandatory instructions.

I'm having very similar issues. I'm 31 and live on my mother's couch. I'm going to school full time but all classes are online based because I can't show up for anything. I have an 11 year old I can't support and feel like I'm failing at my not relationship with my not boyfriend. That's right, I'm such a mess he won't even call me his girlfriend.

I hope you'll talk to someone about it if it gets to be too much. Rest assured you're not alone. I'm probably the least functional person I know.

I totally get it. I have a med change coming up I can hardly wait for. I do Ok with my kid but always think I should be doing better. I have a job I can't manage to show up fit and learned a few years who that I maintain an apartment alone either. Something about manic spending sprees and inability to obtain credit to wreck makes it sort of impossible. I have a fantastic relationship with my cat though. Lol I wish the not boyfriend would own up to being with me. He's faithful to me and has plans to stay with me for as long as possible so I really don't get what the difference is to him. What keeps you from managing it alone? Not trying to pry, just curious... And terribly wanting to talk to someone...

Hope you feel better soon.

If someone told us we had a form of brain cancer rather than mental illness I doubt we would be as hard on ourselves and people would be less harsh towards us.
Thanks for this!

I can't figure out why I don't do the things that are good for me, especially have people over who "get it." I worry about "failing" in life, and sometimes I can only see what I am screwing up on. I'm not sure I can identify what failing life is though. Is it not having a job, a boyfriend, or your own place. Is it being unable to get a university degree. Maybe or maybe not. I keep going anyways, there is as strong of voice telling me to try again as to give up. Success is not final and failure isn't fatal, unless you let it be.

brain cancer doesn't cause extreme self-doubt and make it hard to do simple everyday things.

I try to take it one day at time. Some things are better to "just do and move on". Usually nobody's going to bite you out there. Pushing yourself to do is somewhat easier on you in long run than endless rumminiting.

(says somebody who still haven't figured her electricity bills...........)

collapse your pain and drop free fall with me and find out the collision is just as we expected!

there are so many shapes that do not fit dear Moosey the ones we feel!

we can try to damage the impenetrable walls of life...

we can watch the urgency of this life defeat us .....our every moves are slightly more complicated....

...and sweetheart...life always takes the easy way out....

...we are a little more complicated...

a little more awesome...

Moosey sweetheart... your question rips apart the normal!...

it's ok baby....
Thanks for this!
