Waste

[endlessmelancholy]

My childhood was good. Everything was going well until it didn't anymore. Now after over a decade of psychiatric drugs and therapy I feel like it's been a huge waste. Waste of time, money and potential. I can see my lonely future. Life just goes on even when we aren't living.

Anyone can take a wrong turn. Sometimes lessons learned can be a valuable aid in "building back better".

If doctors and therapists have not been helpful, you may discover that you can be a better therapist for yourself than they were.

WOW! I was going to give a response to this, but you said it so completely perfectly that I will just say I second your post.

So thoughtfully said, brilliant!

I can relate to the "waste of potential." It's a hard feeling to live with.

But the value of your life isn't tied to how much you reach or don't reach that "potential." You are a human person, and for that you have value in and of yourself.

I hope you find ways to become less lonely and that you find things that bring you joy and peace.
