Quicksand

[NightOwl2020]

I feel like I'm in quicksand and I'm sinking deeper and deeper every day. I don't like myself, I always seem to screw things up, my past partners haven't been able to live with me, and on top of that I feel an absence of drive, or interest in anything. Every single task feels like climbing a mountain. I just feel like I'm dead, like I'm not here, and I don't want my parents who I live with (getting divorced) taking offense to it thinking I don't like being around them.

Hi NightOwl, I can understand the feeling. This absence of purpose and drive. I am new to this site, I just joined a minute ago. How about we take one day at a time, just one task for the day? No pressure. This is what I'll also do, starting today.

It's nice to meet you. That sounds like a good idea :).

Try telling your parents how you feel, I doubt that they think you don't like being around them. Everyone needs a certain amount of personal space and time to themselves, that is not selfish. Take a breath and if you can't say it all at once, then write out how you feel so that you can get to everything. I'm sure that they will understand.
