I did regarding my music degree.
I had a lot of regret and feeling of failure for choosing music instead of Psychology and also regret that I failed my final degree exam cos I was mentally ill.
However I decided to stop feeling that way and do something about it which is why I’m starting OU in September studying psychology.
I think if I had not have children I would feel even more like a failure. But they are here now and I know I’m busy with them and do ky best with them.

Having children most certainly derailed me in having a career, but I would feel much worse if I never had them. We really wanted to have children.
My husband travels frequently for work. I went back into the regular workforce in 2018, but not full-time. I have worked full-time for the last couple of months and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to do better for myself in the future, career-wise.

I’m a failure as a human being but I feel I’ve had relative success in life in things I’ve accomplished.

I’m turning 30 in 3 weeks. I don’t have my drivers license, I have a horrible history of failed jobs. I haven’t had a girlfriend in years, i’m quiet at family get togethers.
I know things can change, but it hasn’t been a successful life so far.
My family definitely sees me as a failure.

I feel that way too. I try to work harder because of the feeling but the doubts always get the worst of me

I don’t think about it too much… The idea of being a failure.
I know I am… But it doesn’t really put me down a whole lot.
I have my own successes.

Life is what you make it, schizophrenics need to be judged by a different set of standards, we are tackling life on hard mode.

Very few people are truly limited to as little as all that. You really have to make a choice and take the first steps towards your goals. I kind of know how you feel, though. I was spinning my wheels a bit for years, only making minor progress here and there. Even then, though, I never really felt like a failure. I was just doing what I could to pick up whatever joy I could grab on to.
These days, I am having lots of success and getting stuff done and it makes you feel good.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I suspect there are many here like me who really just need that first spark of motivation to get them to take that first step on the road to getting stuff done.
If you dont want to get things done, thats fine too. If you are happy with that, thats cool. If you are unhappy, I would encourage you to just find that little glimmer to get you started on your path. Thats all you really need is a little push to get started. You need some reason to get motivated. Then just keep moving forward. At least, that has been my experience.

P.S. Honestly, after having so much to do for so long now, I feel a bit antsy to be doing something in my down time like I am having right now.
I just dont know what to do with myself since its late at night and I cant work on or do anything really.

You were a mod here and then you kind of disappeared. I was very worried about you and thought things where going downhill for you I don’t know why. Now you are tremendously taking your life to an unimaginable place. You seem fearless. I am overwhelmed by life and just want to take the path with the least resistance in me. My father is trying get me busy with things. My parents are crippled. Our house is a total mess. I cant keep up. I cook and take my parents to appointments. My father owns three houses and is trying to put all the responsibility on me. He wants me to learn how to take care of things. We have two cars and he wants me to learn how to take care of them. I am overwhelmed. I just am thinking to go into prayer or something as I am overwhelmed. My cousins are a big help with us. I have been missing doses of medication because I stay up all night because that is the only free time to myself I have. If I take my meds it knocks me out for twelve hours. My parents are in good moods most of the time. But I cant keep up with all this paper work like I want to. Things are ok but I need better organization with all the paper work. for the houses and cars and health insurance and stuff. My dad still talks about me getting married and even having kids. He keeps saying people don’t just do nothing with their lives or something. I don’t know what my future holds. I just live for my free time at night and hobbies. At the moment I am keeping up with payments and stuff but the house is a mess and I am totally unorganized. Things are working out but I am severely discouraged. I don’t know what got into you but you are doing amazing things with your life now. I bow to Bowens in awe at the moment. Bless you.

I really appreciate all the kind words. It actually sounds like you have a pretty full plate. You should be proud of all you are doing to keep yourself and your family going.
I personally cant stress enough the importance of physical activity. It has made such a difference in my life. I have so much more energy than I used to have now.
It also has cut my insulin requirements in more than half. I also no longer take glipizide at all as it makes my blood sugar go to low when I do. It has really improved my diabetes.
So, if I could give you one suggestion to help you get where you want to be, It would be physical exercise in one form or another. Whether thats a routine, from work or sex or whatever the method is.
