Just done. At my end. I’m really truly useless even when I try not to be.

I know the feeling. I feel that way from time to time. Then thankfully I bounce back. I hope you bounce back soon.

I find you to be kind, thoughtful and helpful to others. You’re not at all useless

Maybe you are sometimes. I doubt
It’s all the time though. Like my sister tells me when I tell her I’m discouraged and I’m making mistakes. “You’re still doing a lot of things right”.

I’m completely useless too
IDK. I was technically useless for 8 months in the hospital. I was 21 and supposedly in the prime of life. But I paced the halls in a hospital gown; rarely talking; just kept to myself and also slept a lot. Took my medication dutifully every night and attended a few groups, took my turn picking up cigarette butts from the back lawn.
When I got out I would say I became useful. I eventually started helping my family in any way I could. Was a decent friend, brother and son. So my uselessness was temporary. Things change. If one thing doesn’t work find another. Sometimes you got to invent ways to be useful for yourself. This probably won’t help, but it’s just a few ideas I had.
Your tag line is ‘Tears Behind the Mask’.
And now you are telling everyone that you are useless.
You have a defeatist attitude right out of the gate. Change your tag line to something more positive, and start appreciating yourself for your strengths instead of miring yourself in your weaknesses.
Sad Fishing will get you some temporary sympathy, but you’ll be alienated in the long run…left all on your own… when people tire of your Debbie Downer shtick.
Don’t give up @FatMama! You are a truly wonderful person. You always do your best. Sometimes, despite our efforts, what we want to happen doesn’t, but that doesn’t mean that is they way it’ll always be. Please hang on. Seek comfort from your family and friends. And know that you’re always welcome to post here, we will support you.

Keep trying and fighting. It’s not normal to feel so down so hope you talk to your doctor about it. You are a good person and that is unquestioned. It very much seems your in the throes of some serious depression.
