Dear nature of life,
You sound as if you are in a really bad place right now, really down and feeling bad. Let me tell you that when you start to feel better none of those things will be true. It is when we are really down that we feel worthless, meaningless, useless and with nothing to live for. This could be Clinical Depression. Clinical Depresson is an illness which makes us feel utterly down and useless, and sometimes makes us doubt the reason to go on living.
You need to see a health professional, probably a G.P., who can take a look at you and check that you are not Clinically Depressed. If you are then he/she will prescribe anti-depressant medication. This takes a few weeks to work, so in the meantime your G.P. might want you to talk to a counsellor or psychologist.
Talkng with someone who understands is powerful medicine.
You can't go on like this, you need to seek help. All of us here on the forum understand and support you, so stay in touch with us too.
Hoping to hear happier news from you soon,
Ellu

Hi @natureoflife . I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone and there are lots of people who have learnt ways to cope when things are tough like they seem for you at the moment. One of those ways is to connect with people who get it, like you're doing by talking here. Another way, as Ellu mentioned, is to talk with a professional about what's happening for you. Have you got any support like this around you?
Take care and hope to speak again soon
