i obtained my Master's degree, I had a decent job, I had a happy marriage, I was going to go for my PhD so I could get a nice job, i have a beautiful daughter
» now i find myself on disability...i can't seem to get myself to hardly leave the house...i go from pay check to pay check...i worry about having enough food for my daughter...my wife and I are divorcing...i guess my name fits because I sometimes just feel "dead" (not suicidal)...like i'm totally devoid of any feelings...and i am a shadow of who i used to be » lots of things that were beyond my control...best friend died of a heart attack...my mother and brother have moved to another state...i've let my other friends drift away...i had a job from hell and a relationship that turned very toxic...i'm just broken, i guess |

I know how you feel. I too was very successful but then it all came crashing down. The holidays make it really bad. I try not to think about the past and look to see what the future may hold. Hopefully this is a temporary thing for you. If you can envision yourself being successful you can make it!

Hi Byzantine, How do I plan on turning my life around. That is the ultimate question. I feel like I've tried so many things that either didn't work at all or just worked temporarily. It sounds so simple. Just take care of myself. I should try to make new friends...surround myself with people. Exercise, sleeping, and eating better would help me feel better. The thing is, maybe I don't want to get better. I just must hate myself. I am just kidding myself to think I will actually amount to anything. I feel so frustrated at myself. I just can't stop these feelings turning around into critical thoughts. If I could only just step back and give myself a break. It's just perpetual criticism that won't stop.
