Have you ever felt like a failure?

Question

I've hit rock bottom with my college here. I don't ever want to work. I hate every job I get. I've been presented an opportunity to work at Sea World in Florida. I'm trying the best I can to succeed and make sure I am fully prepared for anything. Then I look at myself here and feel like such a failure. Have you ever felt like one? Did you recover? What inspired you? Stories please! Thanks.

Answer 1

I feel like a failure at least once a day. I just had my first book of poetry published and it is not very cheerful. Title-WHERE SADNESS SLEEPS. maybe you are depressed and need meds! maybe i am too! I'm inspired when i think of where my life could be. my happiness is my own responsibility so i try to make myself happy doing things like writing, music, ect. who are you living for? by what are you setting your standards for hapiness and success? advice-meditate-find your true self, good luck, opal

Answer 2

Of coarse, I think everyone has hit rock bottom at least once in life. The key is to just imagine what your goal in life was. Whether it's to be famous, rich or to just have fun. Remember this and it will keep you going. Just keep telling yourself that what you are doing now will lead you to that happy place in a few years. Because it should.

Answer 3

We all go through those moments. It's pretty normal. You just keep on going, that's all.

Answer 4

Every day I feel like a failure. I rebelled against a miserable childhood at 14 by doing drugs and running wild, forsaking school and rules. I ended up in foster care after my crazy mom took off for some peace town in oregon where pot was supposedly legal. I was left alone until the state found out. When I turned 18 I found myself homeless, with no degree and no family, at least no sane family. When I met a man I fell in love with in a shelter in northeast philly we decided to tough it out and try to build something. We didn't mean to have a baby right away but I got pregnant, on birth control, and there went the college option out the window even though I had gotten my ged and scored in the 98th percentile out of the whole US. The second baby followed, yes I was on the pill- nothing worked but a tubal to keep me unpregnant. Me and my guy fight terribly and I am depressed beyond imagination- I have countless dreams, not one Friend, no family- but I have hope, 2 beautiful kids, and prozac. I am only 24. Theres still time. Good luck!
