I can't do a single thing without forgetting something, without screwing it up somehow. Therefore, I can't enjoy life. Sometimes my only consolation is that it will be over some day. It would be nice to enjoy it beforehand, but I haven't figured out how yet, and can't imagine that I ever will, because I can't stop forgetting things and screwing things up. I simply cant do it. I hate myself, I hate my life. Same old story. That is all. Nothing works,.nothing helps. Im doomed and cursed to be a screw up and a loser. Strangely I am really good at certain things, but it doesn't matter because I can't handle basic living. Here's an example - I have a caretaker job, and one responsibility is to fill the person's meds. Easiest thing in the world - read the bottle, "take one in the morning," or take two at night," or "take one in the morning, and one at night," and you put them in the am/pm pill box accordingly. Easiest thing in the world, and I couldn't do it without screwing it up. Now someone from the office has to make a special trip to do it, because I am a hopeless loser. That was a awhile ago, that's just a really good example of what I'm talking about. I literally can't do anything without screwing it up. I always make the same stupid mistakes, and I can't stop. I'm searching through things, I come across something and think, "oh, I'll need this later," and rather than just put it IN MY DAMN POCKET, I set it aside where I will either forget where I came across it, or forget to bring it. I can't stop doing that, no matter what I do. It's just the same thing, over and over and over again. At least it will all be over and done with some day.
I'm a screw up who can't enjoy life - Anxiety and Depre...
I'm a screw up who can't enjoy life
If you believe you a screw up your life is going to continue being a mess... Life doesn't get better complaining and feeling sorry..I want you to become stronger and change you mentality to you a winner... with time you will win
What will I win ?
I have messed up more than few times. But keep going. That’s all there is try harder or take easier job. I take less responsibility jobs now. Always ask for less duties
You will be fine and away from tough duties
I'll still be stupid outside of my job - that's the problem - being stupid
IQ does not determine the heart, the heart in the right place and you will do well x
Emotional Intelligence also need to develop and IQ you develop and learn from books, others and teachers or mentors etc
You will learn to get things right, just takes practice and thinking about
Thanks, it's a nice thought, but it hasn't happened yet, and I've been at it for decades, so.. I'm starting to lose hope
Try to think positive and learn to be grateful. You said you keep forgetting things write notes on sticky notes.
So true...i think I like this one.
That'll work for a day or so, but I can't keep it up
Don't worry you are not a loser. You are doing your best, sometimes zoning out can be because of anxiety. Please don't beat yourself up, you are an important human being as much as the next one. Just keep trying , some people are forgiving and everyone makes mistakes.
Whoa whoa whoa! Stop and back up! Stop being so hard on yourself! We all have our strengths and weaknesses. I am excellent at my job but it's a no phone, no technology zone do I still get to the door and find I've somehow still got my phone in my pocket and have to do the walk of shame back to my car, multiple times a week! (It used to be everyday! The worst was 4x before I could go in). I have dyslexia this is executive dysfunction. Other things I forget- to lock my car, where I've parked, to turn the tap off, to turn the cooker on, to not turn the wrong ring on the cooker on which had my new electric beater on it, to put my electric beater away so it doesn't get melted when I turn the wrong ring on...etc I am a wealth of knowledge in such things as carpets do not like irons and if you cant find something check the fridge! Do these things frustrate me on the daily? Hell yes! Do they make me a lower who can't get anything right. No. They make me a person who needs to keep a fire extinguisher next to the cooker and who needs to save for buying things again when I've lost or broken something. Be grateful that your work has recognised and is providing you the support you need. Say thank you and let it go. Some of us aren't meant to be on time ever anyway! 😀 being hard on yourself will make you miserable and make it worse. No one ever bullied anyone into making less mistakes! Even yourself!
I used to be that way. Constantly losing and misplacing things, making simple mistakes non stop. I was not a screw up. I was manic and anxious with my thoughts racing and had no concentration. The channel would change constantly. When I found the right medications that got better.
I wish I could do that, find the right medication
Yo didn't even read it so, Number 1. Your only a screw up if You tell yourself that and do it continuously, you will be. 2. No one stands in judgements of your actions ultimately but YOU., to Heck with what others think, they Are not You and don't g go to bed with Your experience at nite. 3. Be mindful Words are Spells, that's why when You say things when using I AM, and You internalize it, it becomes Your reality, not anyone else's, that's why You feel the way you do. Hop on the positive affirmation train bro, you won't regret it, stop looking for failure or incompletion in your challenges. You know what you tell the mind which is your inner you the mind looks for justification to confirm what you think or believe is real or correct, you have got to talk and think differently about yourself bro, that's the sure way to many successes, Do It, don't try, you have to know and walk n talk as you are already successful at your quest. You are amazing, kind and t as talented, unlock the door and let that shine, there is no fail or incomplete, there are only Lessons. Learn my friend Learn. Cheers
Even if I try not to think of myself as a screw up,, I get daily reminders that I am
Hey, that's only if YOU two yourself that, stop saying that and stop believing that, tell yourself your masterful even if it doesn't work out. The only person or being standing in judgement of you Is YOU. life is about learning, failing, succeeding and moving on to the next challenge bro. Sheesh you gotta stop worrying about what others think and sometimes sit what You think. When I say it's ask good I mean that ish, cuz it is ask good with the bad and indifferent. You have a house, you have transportation, you have prior that love you despite what You may think and u can get up on the middle of the nite go to your frig or cupboard and make a peanut butter samich when ever u want, that's rich my friend, very rich. Hey our that pity pot and go njoi it life, it's waitin for ya. Cheers
