Trapped
Feeling super low. Wish I was doing something with my life I was happy about. Something I was proud of. I feel like i’ve just been living for everyone else and when I look around I see there’s nothing for me. I recently went to go visit family in another state and came up with this thought flying back that I left where my family lived to live somewhere bigger with more opportunity and more freedom but in the same breath somehow managed to turn that move for freedom into a very lonely prison. Changes need to be made in my life but I am always too sad and tired. And when I did try in the past nothing came of it. So drained. So sad. So tired.
Sorry to hear about all the difficulties in your life. I believe if we keep trying things can surely turn around, and I am not saying you are not trying. It sounds from reading your post that you are trying. It is important to know that this trying is the important aspect because we can only try. If we keep trying something really can come around. Life can be super difficult and it can be even harder to try, but if we don't even try, what is life worth.
Please know we can all overcome our strong down-bringing situations.
@Punna23 Yea, see. I went to school for four years to improve skills and have been looking for work doing entry level interests for what I studied and nothing has come of it. Meanwhile, I am in multiple super toxic situations because I can't get any traction. Four years of trying and nothing.
Yes, life can be super hard. But, if we decide we will try on in any situation it does 2 things. It charges up our mind, so when the low thoughts come we stay focused on the getting past the difficulty. And it increases our preseverance and will power.
Not to mention if we keep trying there is an enormously higher chance that we overcome our troubles.
Sorry if this sounded like a sermon but I truly believe this is true.

I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s important to remember that it’s never too late to make changes and find happiness. You’ve already shown strength by recognizing what needs to change. Take small steps, and be kind to yourself along the way.
@magnoliahua thank you
You are seen and you are heard. Your struggles are valid and your efforts are not in vain! I like to tell myself that I am exactly where I need to be in life and try to give myself something to look forward to in the future. You have the power within yourself to overcome any and every obstacle that comes your way.
