So, I’ve been spending the past 5 years of my life on a steady downward spiral. I can’t hold a job more than a year. Failed out of college, failed with relationships with both sexes, and destroyed my credit. I feel like everything I touch dies. I can’t get anything right, and its been that way my entire life. I’m at the point that I really don’t see the point in continuing to be another uncontributing wasted resource in the world. I keep thinking I should pull the plug on it. I can’t really shake it. Have you ever felt like you were destined to be an example for everyone else at what not to do?

Firstly, nice username; love the fight club reference. When one’s faced with recurring situations, wether that’d be bad breaks, or even continued despondency, it’s easy for them to visualize a different future; after all, if it’s been that way for quite some time. When you face times in which life appears to be on a slope, remember that no body is perfect, and that they themselves usually feel flawed/useless from time to time. Don’t take the shortcomings of your character too heavily, as they can always be improved upon. Dwelling on what didn’t work out will surely bring back memories of your past mistakes. Instead, program your mind into thinking of instances when you’ve done things right. The time you withstood temptation; even the college courses you aced can all be road signs that can ultimately point you into the right direction. We all make mistakes. Many of us go decades carrying the failures of our childhood on our shoulders. Remove the labels: Screw up, failure, waste of space, and interloper. Take small steps “Robert,” and I believe that you can really turn things around mentally, as well as physically.
Thank you
