I don't know what to do anymore

I don't know what to do anymore

Hi, New here.

Long story short my mental health has ruined my life. I've felt like this since I was a kid but my parents didn't know about mental health and thought that nothing was wrong with me. Now I'm 28 and I feel like I've lost so many years and opportunities, I ruined my best shot at my dream career, I ruined the only opportunity I had for a stable relationship. and knowing I won't get the time or opportunities back is haunting me. I've struggled to hold work for years, I was taken advantage of by my first psychologist and I feel like no one cares anymore. It's like everyone is sick of the guy who's been useless most of his life. I attempted suicide and now I live with the guilt that I gave up at one point and now I just wish I could undo everything.
