I have discovered that I don’t want to die, I want to live but just can’t bear the reality I’m faced with (having no redeeming qualities and having no place in this world). I didn’t understand what it actually meant to die and that scares the living shit out of me. To think how close I came to jumping from a skyscraper and being sucked into a vacuum to never feel or experience anything ever again… it’s hard to believe it’s what I wanted. It was only in coming to close to death that saved my life. But my life is still shattered and I can’t put the pieces together. I’m still the same person and I just keep sinking lower and lower, it feels like quicksand and I’m afraid it’ll swallow me under again. I can’t break free… I lack the intelligence to get anywhere in life. For months I’ve had these ideas of what I’m going to do to make money like getting into web design, becoming a personal trainer, doing computer repair, getting into hacking, growing weed etc. I seriously must be dreaming! I’m too much of a fucktard to get anywhere in life, it’s a wonder that I can breathe and walk because I can barely talk, seriously I can barely converse with other people and i’m usually limited to things I’ve said a million times before. And all these projects… I start hell for leather for a few days and then forget everything after abandoning it for a few days. In a way, my fuckwittery is my salvation because I don’t understand and forget how retarded I actually am. There are millions of people dying around the world and I of all people have been granted a life of luxury that I can do nothing with, and I can’t even bring myself to end it when I realise it’s over. It’s like an eternal prison and I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t – I’m fucked both dead or alive.

That “almost” jump sounds intense.
By my estimation you are definitely intelligent enough to accomplish goals, as evidenced by your writing.
The setting and achieving of goals is, however, a different ability. It took me some time – hell, TOO much time, to realize that I was raised by individuals who did not have the ability to set/ accomplish goals themselves and so lacked the knowledge to teach me. I’ve had to search out those from whom I could learn, taking the best of each person’s advice, insofar as I found it useful to ME. I have a ways to go, but I have made significant progress and you can as well.
You’ve got to stop that negative self-talk, though. Self-exploration and honest self-assessment is required. Self-flagellation is nonproductive for the most part.
If I can start to figure this out, anyone can . I sure wish I’d started younger.
Sorry you’re feeling so pressured.
