Everything I have ever done, I have failed. I got married twice and divorced twice. I have no more friends, I have tried to work and failed, I have tried to open businesses and failed. I have written and published a book and sold NOT ONE COPY.
I became a health coach and marketed my business in the community, on Facebook, in the newspaper, online... This week I held two open houses for two hours each and NOT ONE PERSON CAME. I have been on dating sites and NOT ONE PERSON has contacted me. Not even the "scam artists." WTF is wrong with me that there is not one person on this earth who I can relate to. Why can't I be good at anything other than sitting around watching TV? And now I don't even want to talk to my T about it because he treats my ex husband and I don't want my ex to find out that I am feeling a little bit down because I am afraid he will try to take my son. Lately, my kids are the only things keeping me together. They are the only ones on Earth who haven't found out yet what a failure I am. If I ever lost one or both of them, I'd be done. |

(((BNLsMOM))) Bless your heart.
 I'm sorry your feeling so low this evening. It doesn't sound like you've failed at everything, You have 2 beautiful children. Right? I'm sure you're a fabulous mother. Marriage is very difficult now in this day and age. I don't know one friend of mine who is still married. It's sad but true. You're not alone Keep trying your open houses, perhaps after the Easter season. Everyone is probably eating chocolate bunny ears as we speak. Dating... *sigh*  Where does one start. You T is not allowed to tell your ex anything. It's against your HIPPA rights. I don't think you should be afraid to tell him what's on your mind. I hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like you have made actual attempts to forward your future. Although you see them as failures you still did them. That is of value in itself. Look how you put effort into something, and that's not common people don't try to open businesses they just work and go along dreaming about it. Pat yourself on the back that you are doing a lot.

I agree with what people have said.
The only time you're really a failure is if you don't try. And it sounds like you've tried hard. Don't give up. You'll feel better soon. I am sure of it!

Sounds to me like you daring greatly! I never even been on a date and my only friend is my T, good for you. I'll be honest I am kinda of jealous, with what you see as failures I see as experiences I will probably never have. Not sure what worse failing or never trying. I hope things turn around for you I am sure you deserve it

You're just like us. You can relate to us. We're all bumping along. I've fallen on my face more times than I can count.
Dating sucks. Let's get that out of the way first. People were busy buying hams this week. Didn't you see the battles down at Publix? Roll out the campaign in a few weeks, perhaps with a new angle. Post It Notes were a "failure" until someone realized they weren't. Sometimes, your greatest achievement is right next to you.......your kids. Dare to try! Right on! |

Thank you all for such supportive kind words. I couldn't feel them last week when I was feeling so down. I feel better now and have had a better week. Love to you all!
