I fail at being a good person to my parents ( I lie about getting things done and fail to notify them of important things).
I’ve been letting them down for so many years.
I love them, but I fail them in every way possible.
I want to be better, but I fail all the time one way or another.
I’m so sad about it.
I don’t want them to celebrate my birthday at all. I seriously don’t deserve anything.
aww is it your birthday?
Just bc you forgot some minor details, you think like this? =(
It’s been all my life.
My parents give me so many chances and I fail them.
you do not fail your parents. If you feel guilty, can’t you take action? =(
and they brought you to this world, so just chillax.
I’ve wasted my life doing literally nothing.
I have done nothing with my life. I’m still wasting it away.
I just feel like I’m the biggest failure to the people that had me. My parents.
This sounds exactly like depression to be honest. Have you been diagnosed with any depression? You’re definitely not worthless.
yeah it does sound like depression =( ahhh can you call your doc @Jackie
My next appointment is on the 29th, not too long away.
I hope I can improve my life a little at least.
I hope my doc can help.
You’re not worthless Jackie.
You still have worth, despite your failings. I’ve accomplished very little in my life too, but I still feel that I’m worth something just for being alive. Everything living is worth something.
Stop choosing to fail them. be mindful of your actions. problem solved
it would make you feel better to tell your parents you have been lying to them. explain what you feel inside that makes you do it. Then don’t do it anymore
you are putting yourself through pain for no reason. i can relate. it’s something i have been working on myself
I keep promising/telling them that I will clean up the house for them and I fail at it.
I waste my time and my amotivation is killing each chance that I can to clean.
I’ve been doing that for all of my life and I can tell it’s taking a toll on my aging parents.
I just want to change and actually help for once. It’s all overwhelming.
stop telling them you will do it and when you feel like it, just do a little bit at a time
Maybe you’re putting too much pressure on yourself to want to do everything they want. Maybe you should just concentrate your efforts on just a few things that you know you can do or at least you know you have a good chance at doing.
If you expect yourself to do too much you set yourself up for failure. But if you just pick two or three things you can do OK maybe your parents would be satisfied. Or even break down tasks to something manageable. For example, instead of promising to clean the whole house, instead just clean one room like the kitchen or the bathroom. Maybe you and your parents can negotiate tasks that you have a fighting chance at actually doing. It might boost your confidence to have a few victories.
I had my Wellbutrin dose upped and it seemed to help my feeling of not wanting to do anything ever. Now I get more things done. Maybe you need an anti depressant.
You are not worthless. Take heart.
