I am not a loser. The game is not over. I still can win.

Yes-things could be a lot worse. I have a great non birth family that I really love. Despite my difficulties I think Iā€™m a good father/grandfather/gt grandfather.

The label of ā€œloserā€ is coming from both my family and society and therefore from me too. My father was always broke but it was very clear that ā€œbeing richā€ was all he ever thought about or cared about. And everyone on my momā€™s side of the family really was rich and thought they were superior. So, that is where my attitude comes from.

So you have internalized these values. Me too. But Iā€™m trying to re-assess my life, in a more realistic light.

Hmm. I never think of myself as a loser. I think thatā€™s quite mean. I donā€™t work, and havenā€™t achieved success career-wise. I guess someone would view me as a loserā€¦ but I seldom think that of myself. I have hobbies and I enjoy life when the anxiety isnā€™t getting to me. If Iā€™m enjoying life I have won. But that damn anxiety can be a ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  sometimes.
