Feel like such a failure

I feel like such a failure and I hate myself. I still live at home with my parents, I don't work but I have tried to work before, but it affects my mental health and last time resulted in me being detained under section 2 of the mental health act. My brothers all work, both have moved out now and live with their girlfriends and I'm still at home. I'm 28 now and I feel like since I left school my life hasn't progressed whatsoever, I spend all day with my mum, my dad is out working and I feel so guilty and ashamed that I don't work either.

My days consist of helping in the garden, playing with toys and watching Disney movies and listening to music. I worry what will happen when anything happens to my parents, I've heard them in the past talking about me ending up in a home. That idea frightens me so much. I want to live independently in my own home, and to be with someone, and working.

As I said. I'm a failure. I hate myself and everything I am.

  • I'm in the exact same situation.  I've always felt unworthy of finding a lady, mostly because neurodivergents who we can click with are rare, and neurotypicals are often ignorant and shallow, in this context.  The increasing surveillance, apathy and denial of wanting to break free or to connect with others makes life horrendous, my body is burning out from the stress.
