Re: not coping
Sadly, not without pain @Eve7. All my life I have wanted to be really good at something. And I've not been. Even my latest project is failing miserably (in my eyes anyway) and I'm utterly devastated. I feel mostly responsible for that. Because I was at a course all day today, I had to cancel my support worker. But he did ring me in my lunch break, and I got teary and upset.
Please don't tell me I'm good at anything, because I truly don't believe I am. I'm just average. And I've reached the fifth decade of my life being sub standard or average. I know that we all can't be good or great at everything. But I have never been good or great at any one particular thing. Not sports, not cooking or crafts or creativity. Most things I've done have failed or not lived up to expectations. And I just can't live like this.

Re: not coping
Oh @Sans911 I am so sad that you feel that way about yourself. I won’t tell you what you are good at even though I see many obvious talents.
I understand the pain of feeling like a failure because I struggle with that most days too which is why I’ve made attempts to end my life on several occasions.
I see how valued you are on these forums and I know that there would be people in your real life who value you. You are very important and life for many is richer with you being here.
Love
Eve7
💜💜💜
