I just don't get it, I don't see the point of life. I have truly terrible organizational skills and I don't see them improving enough anytime soon enough to do me any good. Everyone hates me because I'm a pain I screw up everything I touch. I don't see the point of stressing so much when none of us get out of this thing alive. I just want to read my books, grow my garden and have a shop to work in that's all I want.

My organizational "skills" are apparently rooted in chaos theory and are practically useless in this dimension...

Of those things, what don't you have now?

No one really knows the point of life so why think about it? If your organizational skills aren't up to par, then perhaps try practicing. It won't be easy. It takes practice to become good at just about anything you do. I can promise you that not everyone hates you and I can also promise you that you don't screw up everything you touch. Try not to speak in absolutes, using words like "everything", "nothing", "always", "never", etc. It causes more stress for yourself and the people around you.
As far as stress, there is such a thing as positive stress but for the negative stress in your life, there are many things you can do to reduce it. Do a google search of reducing stress, or relaxation techniques. The results are countless.
Thanks for this!

I appreciated your support on my post, and understand where you stand completely. I'm not going to give you the typical" hang in there" because I know that just makes things feel worse. All I've got to say is try to do one thing for you today.
ps. relax, it can't get worse
Thanks for this!

Are you able to grow your garden at the moment? What plans do you have for the garden? Gardening requires organisational skills, so if you are growing your garden or have managed to do that in the past then you have organisational skills.

All your goals sound realistic and achievable and I hope you find the confidence to be comfortable with choosing a simple life.
Thanks for this!

I have started a new job and it's really stressing me out, it feels like it's one of those plate spinning tricks you see on TV and I have about two of them spinning really wobbly like and the rest have crashed on the floor. I'm just getting tired of trying to be tottally honest I always just seem to screw it up. I just wish I could kind of withdraw from the world. I'm always feeling exhausted lately and I'm just tired of being tired. My diet and exercise have slipped lately which is probably not helping either and I have to work with a couple of really negative people.

Hi annoyedgrunt84,

Congratulations on the new job!!

I've got an idea which might be a little silly. Try doing your job with purely present moment awareness as if it is an exotic meditation retreat. Actually, I think I'm going to try that myself!
