Feeling worthless

[tamka38]

I couldn't drop my mom off downtown to start work today and she live a hour away and couldn't drop my son off at school I feel like a failure

You are not a failure, you are struggling and need more help to balance your needs as a mentally ill person and the needs of others. But you’re not failing at anything, it’s part of anxiety, and anxiety is part of you, you should not feel guilty for not being able to flip the switch to « it’s all good day », be kinder to yourself I am sure you will work things out.

takes time to set yourself on the path towards recovery/managing and what’s right for you. you could focus on the fact that you are taking steps to feel better. but the goal is not to be able to be there for everybody, the goal is about yourself first. none of what you describe is your fault so there is no reason to try to put you down.

Hi Tamka,

I’m sorry to hear about your mom and kids. You are not a failure. I’m sorry you are struggling from anxiety.

I pray that you will overcome this illness. Please check with your doctor regularly, maybe he/she needs to make some changes with your medication. Remember that we are here for you so please don’t go through this alone. Feel better soon. God bless.

You have had a bad day, now relax as beating yourself up about it will not help. Find something to take your mind off all the negative thoughts and try to find out why it all fell apart today. Are you tired? Did you have words with someone? Are the kids driving you up the wall? All these things can make you feel as though you can't cope, but tomorrow is a new day, find someone to talk through your worries. You could find strategies to lower your anxiety (some good stuff on the internet) this always helps.
