My sister is a lawyer for the criminal justice system. I work for temp. services in a food line. Lol!!! I've been trying to find a better job...But fact is, right now I'm a loser. If I were more ambitious, didn't have to take psych meds just to sleep, what could have happened? I think I'm about on the same level as her except I don't have a criminal record like her...

Who calls you a loser? Is this a label you put on yourself? When you think of yourself poorly that reflects on to other people. Try to think of yourself as a "winner" rather than "loser", introduce yourself with happy positive vibes, everytime you start to think depressively challenge those thoughts. Talk yourself up on job applications, show off your good traits. Focus on the positive rather than the negative. Some people have to take meds to even be able to survive, does that make them losers? I think not.

Do NOT label yourself! We are so ultra-super-sensitive that we all tend to do that. Keep looking for a better job! Do not think of yourself as damaged just because you have to take a med. Do not associate with damaged people, either! I did that and I finally woke up and stopped it. Do not compare yourself to your sister or to anyone else.

The ending here is the best one. Copy it and enlarge the font and read it. Hope this helps. You can also google it.
Good luck with job search!

DesiderataGo placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

You are not a loser. Do not compare yourself to others. You have some special needs to deal with. Just try to do your best. If you can love and be loved then you have value as a human being.
