I feel useless

It feels like everything I do ends up being the wrong thing.
It feels like not matter what I do, I can’t make things better for myself nor others.

I don’t feel like I’m good enough.

I’m essentially worthless and useless. I keep letting people down.

Maybe I should just disappear. Sell all my stuff and take the first train that goes far away.
I don’t deserve the good things that come my way.

Am I completely crazy for having these thoughts?

I could really use some assurance.

You are good enough. I’m no stranger to these feelings. They suck, but one thing I’ve learned from this illness is that feelings aren’t always reality. So yeah, you may feel down on yourself, but that doesn’t mean you deserve to be shat on. I don’t know you very well @Pikasaur, but from your posts you seem to be a good and helpful person who was just dealt a bad hand. Doesn’t make you useless at all. You’re awesome, always.

The trouble with running away is that no matter where you go you take yourself with you! And feeling as worthless and inept as you imply that would still be the case.

A self-analysis of what you are and what you want to become needs to take place. What do you love? what do you hate? about yourself and others. What do you need and what do you need to do to make it happen needs to be asked.

What are you running away from? Yourself, others? What do you need to happen to stop that feeling? Address and face these things and then think of ways to remedy them, No giant leaps, but small gradual steps to achieve these things.

When a person doesn’t feel like they are good enough, it often stems from childhood issues. Get a therapist and counselling to deal and uncover these things. Even the steps of making this possible can be the first step to take.

If you need constant approval then identifying why can be the beginning of self assurance.

Think it through. Analyse yourself.and not just act impulsively. Meditate.

Hi Nova, you always have the most well intentioned comments on here. I am also feeling pretty useless today.

@Pikasaur, I think you’re an awesome person!

You’re caring, intelligent, and very nice.

Please don’t do anything rash.

I think we can all feel this way at times when we’re depressed. But running away won’t solve any problems.

Take care. :hugs: :heart:.

Nah Nova. You aren’t useless. You’re super awesome! Maybe you’re just having a bad day. Don’t let a couple bad days turn into a bad week. I think many of us have bad days. It’s okay to feel a little down sometimes. I hope you feel better soon.

I’ve felt this way before, too…a lot. It’s easy to give in to these feelings and it’s all downhill from there. Please don’t go there. You are a very important part of this forum and from what i see, very well-respected. I hope you see beyond this temporary feeling and press on toward a better day. You deserve it.
