Useless Human

TheCatWoman

I feel really terrible, I tried to buy a birthday present for a friend, the website refused to accept my card because it said I'd pressed the wrong thing and that it's not a visa debit card which it is, so that was a fail.

Then I went to switch our power company, filled in all the forms, it was returned with stars saying that none of the fields were correct.

I give up, I feel totally useless and defeated and worthless. How does everyone else manage when it seems I can't even fill in a form correctly and get my name, address and date of birth wrong, it's not, but the form won't have it.

  • Days, weeks, even months can be like this. You‘re a smart and strong person, but that doesn‘t mean that you‘re not allowed to struggle. It‘s okay, you‘re still a worthy human being. Would you call a friend ”useless“ if they were to tell you something similar? Probably not. Be kind to yourself!

    Thank you Emmalephant, for your kind words. One of the problems with being seen as strong and particularly a strong woman, is that it makes it so much harder to be unable to do something, people assume that you're just being difficult or deliberately stupid and when the strong start to wobble it seem sot make everyone feel less safe, so they don't allow you to have a wobble and just pile more stuff on you so as cope. You can carry on just coping and getting on with it that you wear youself out, emotionally and physically and then the fumits really hit the windmill!
