I feel more pathetic and useless than I can tell you and I feel like the only thing I'm talented at is screwing up. I'm almost 25 years old and I live with my parents, I dropped out of college, I suck at my career, I screw up SO many things that I try including school, relationships, jobs, ect.. I suck as a person, a friend, a girlfriend, a sister, and sometimes a daughter and I don't feel pretty, skinny, smart, responsible, or talented enough for most people. I am going to do my best to get another job so that I can buy a car. I haven't had a car in two years because I'm too stupid and too much of a loser to have the money for one. I have had a terrible year because of scares with my health and the health of some loved ones. Everything has turned out fine, but a couple weeks ago, I had one stessful day after another and when I thought it was over, I was there when someone I love was injured and that night, I had an anxiety attack. I thought I was having a heart attack. I don't have the money for a counselor, so I tried online counseling, but the only counselor who bothered to email me back told me that I have a twisted way of looking at life and didn't help me. What can I do to get help? (link)

Hello beautiful woman!
YOU are making yourself feel this way. It's about perspective. When you think you are pathetic, useless, and untalented - take a look at how you are veiwing life. Don't be pessimistic. I assure you, you're not the worst. I assure you, you are not useless. You are meant to do something great. I could easily look at my life and say the exact same things as you, but I don't. Why? Perspective. Why would I live in a world that says, I can't when I have confidence that I can?
It's cliche, but you have more than those kids in Ghana who can't even afford food or running water. You have more than the guy down the street who sits at the corner begging for money. You have been blessed with so much, but it's the way you've began to look at it. Is it not enough? Are you striving for way more instead of sitting and realizing you have ENOUGH?
Look at yourself, I bet you are infact beautiful, fun, loving, caring, and honoring to those around you. Count your blessings. You don't suck as a friend, you don't suck as a girlfriend - if you really thing you do, then why do these people still stay around you? Probably because you don't suck!
You can do this. Look on the bright side of things.
Think of how many things you have been blessed with.
It's just this season of life. Strive through it.

Great advice! That's exactly what I needed to hear and you have made me feel so much better already. Sorry it took a couple days to get back to you, I've been out of town. I don't want to be pessimistic about life. My mom used to call me her little optimist. I really don't want to be her little pessimist. I agree with everything you said and will definitely try to focus on all of that stuff from now on. Thank you and God bless you for your help.
