Feel the same way most of the time. Thing is several times after failed tries I was mad at first then very determined to find a better place and even if it was just a bit better it made a huge difference. Then I am looking forward instead of down and glad to be able to do it. Just my own personal experience and the perspective I have gotten from it.A lot of people with failed attempts are glad of their failures at some further point in time. Shame would be if you do not fail and do not have that opportunity. So I thought I would share mine with you so that you might not feel the need so desperately to try this for yourself.
Our lives are relatively short. No matter how terrible yours is it can only get better! Given the short duration to suffer through it and have the possibility that it might become better why not? I know it does not seem worth it right now but you really have little to loose.
Forget how miserable you are and make it your entire purpose to make it better for you or for others.
I have gone through this on and off for 30 years. A lot of the time it seems like why go through all this for perhaps a moment or two of being just okay. But as I stated, in my better times I figure why not?
Hope I did not bore you too much. I just went through an episode a few weeks ago so this is very fresh in my mind.
