What to do when you feel like a failure

[path_to_nowhere]

A lot has happened since i last posted. We got a new puppy, and i have to do the hard part of potty training him, while the rest of my family just play with him, and give him treats. I got kicked out of my debate group, debate was very important to me last year, but since lockdown, i got busy, and couldn't be as active, and then they kicked me out. My ex, who begged me to still be friends with him, is gaslighting me, and trying to get me to get back with him by messing with my head. I was elected president of the literary club, but that's not going well. Barely anyone comes for the meetings. It feels like I'm failing at everything, even though I've really been working on having a better self esteem.

Hey there! Truthfully, I don't think you are necessarily failing at anything. That's super exciting that you got a new puppy; I love doggies! I'm sorry that your debate group didn't work out. I think this pandemic messed up a lot of peoples' lives. And I'm sorry that your literary club isn't working out either. But you sort of just have to try different things to see what you like and what fits, you know? If that isn't working out, then don't waste your time with it (sorry if that sounds harsh). You should definitely try other things though; who knows what you might end up enjoying. With your boyfriend troubles, I would definitely steer clear of that. If he is messing with your head, then that is not a good situation to be in. Simply tell him to leave you alone. And if he doesn't listen, then maybe tell some form of authority that this guy is harassing you. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. And of course, remember that we are here to help you and stand by your side.
