There are things that cannot be changed so we do have to learn to accept those things. But there are always some things we can change once we have the energy to do so. What might seem impossible might change once we move to a more energetic state of mind. (possibly an antidepressant might do that). I'm working on goals right now that are attainable to get some momentum in my life. I have a problem with binge eating and sometimes feel out of control with that. So that is something within my control.I'm working on getting myself into better shape and finding exercise that I can tolerate. Find a part time job that I can handle. Try to turn around that total feeling of failing at everything to one of building some successes and gaining some momentum in my life from one of total inertia.
