Mainly to add sympathies- know how that feels all too well!
And to stress again that you have no reason to hate yourself; there are also lots of people who dont sort out their problems, or do so only slowly and with difficulty.
> Maybe I don't try hard enough, maybe I don't care enough, maybe I'm just not a deserving person.No! The first and second are unlikely, and the third just isnt true at all. Life is unfair- bad things happen to good people all the time, and vice versa.
> My life seems to be slipping away from me and I have no control over it. I want it back, the way it used to be, when I had a path to follow and I was happy. I knew where my life was going, and it was good. Now it's a constant merry-go-round of worry and hurt and dissapointment. I am tired of it, I want it to stop.
That is *so* familiar. Its so unfair, isnt it? And not optional- its not like someone who is slightly overweight who can decide to stop dieting. We are stuck with how we feel. Therapy and meds may help, but its a long grind. Get all the support you can and be kind to yourself- you deserve it.
Its highly likely that you will feel better sometime, and then life will be much easier- honest!
