Does anyone else feel that they will never succeed

NAS78666

Hi

I'm having a problem right now where my mind keeps telling me that I won't make it and that I will never succeed in life, does anyone else have this? I've been trying to get my life back on track sense I had to leave work in October due to mental health issues and I just feel hopeless and helpless. I feel like no matter what I do I'll always be at the bottom, I've never achieved anything in my life no matter how hard I tried and feel like I was just born a loser.

  • I am 52 and have only felt like this is in the last 2 years. I only found out about ASD 2 years ago, before that I just struggled through, my parents never let me be anything but 'normal'. I have a wife, mortgage, and only been unemployed for two short periods in the 1990's. I am now lucky that in a few years I can semi retire and just get a min wage job somewhere which will help my mental health massivley.

    It could be that you are trying too hard and being too tough on yourself? I think we all have to learn to be ok with who we are, accept that and work around it. How old are you?
