Failure

[18 and in trouble]

I'm such a failure. I can't do things right and I have no self control over myself.

Hello, why do you say you are a failure? What makes you think that you have no control over yourself? (if you don't mind me asking).

 

[neutralbuoyancy]

Same.

I can't control myself, I try to resist yet I always give in. I also can't do anything.

Resist what? impulses and that kind of things?

I understand, thank you for your patience. In any case, that doesn't make you a failure. It's a mistake that can be solved and fixed.

There's more than that. I struggle to do tasks failing to catch up when I need to.

Is there anything in particular that keeps you from catching up?

Honestly, it's just not possible you're a failure at the tender age of 18. You're still literally developing and growing-up. You're still figuring out yourself and the world around you.

Based on what you have shared (feel like a failure, lack of self-control, unable to finish things), it sounds like you have depression. Do you have access to medical care? A doctor? I really encourage you to talk to a doctor and tell them what you've shared here. Depression is a mental health issue and there is help available.

Reminder: you are not a failure! You are a growing, developing human being filled with potential. You have options. There is hope.

I'm really glad you found your way here. I hope you continue to share with us if that helps you. We are here for you.

Sending hope and strength to you.

Thanks, but I'm 29. I don't know how to change the username.

Well, it's not possible you are a failure at age 29 either! I don't think you are a failure at all. You may be struggling right now; but that is part of the human experience. I hope you keep sharing with us.
