I'm 25 now crappy job, not in a relationship, don't have my own place, my education has got me knowhere, i seem to fail at everything i do. What hope have i got left.
I felt exactly like that when I was 25. Fortunately the internet didn't exist then so I was unable to post my thoughts to the world but just kept a miserable whingey diary. Now I look back and wonder what on earth I was whinging about - I was young, had my heath, a non-stressful job no real worries. I just didn't appreciate how lucky I was!
My sister's not that much older than you, Rob, and to be honest, she'd give anything to have the life you have. She's in a wheelchair after recently having a stroke and has no real control over her left side. The amount of concentration it takes for her to take a few steps or even follow conversations is so huge, she is pretty much permanently exhausted.
But she doesn't give up, and won't give up. She hangs out her washing - even though it takes her forever to do so and she sometimes has to stop for a nap halfway through. She hoovers her lounge - even though it's a small room she has to do it in stages. The other day she fancied some soup from a tin which didn't have a ring pull, so she got out the tin-opener and spent half an hour opening that tin one-handed.
She has every reason in the world to sit and whine about the loss of her old life and how nothing's ever going to change and what's the point, but she doesn't. And she doesn't because she knows the only person who can make anything better is her, and her energy's better spent trying to make things better than knackering herself out with an extended pity party.

Move to a monestry, lead a happy and fulfilling life finding inner peace and dressing awesomely.
Also, there's no internet connection so there'd be nothing to compare yourself to and therefore whinge about.

Take a good look around you, people are in much worse situations.
Only you can change the situation. If you depend on someone else to make you feel better, it will put alot of pressure on them and scare them away.
There is a lot to be said for learning to love yourself before letting anyone else in. If you like/love yourself, you do exude comfidence which IMO is an attractive trait. Much more attractive that talking to someone who has a downer on life.
I know I am posting on Robert's thread, but only to say: Why oh why do people bother replying to his manic depressive opening posts?
Because its an advice forum. I don't live on the forum so its unknown to me that if the OP has form. I rarely look at the user name, just the advice request.

None whatsoever, evidently.

The trouble with robert is, he starts a new thread and then doesn't post in that thread again until........the next one.:rolleyes:
