Thank you, Racer. I'm motivated and active, it's just that in whatever I'm doing I'm not achieving anything. One supervisor once told me that the best thing I could do was to do nothing.
Now that I'm in my early 40s, I'm no longer angry at my dad's comments about myself; in fact, I accept them on faith because everyone who knows him is telling me that he is incredibly perceptive and I should listen to him. He's disappointed that, in spite of the tremendous efforts and personal sacrifices he made to put me through a graduate school and get me employed at a great company for over ten years, I've learned little, am deficient in basic social and living skills, and am generally functioning at a level below that of an average person. He weeps often and is on Xanax/Klonopin/Lexapro because of me. His cardiologist and neurologist both diagnosed him as being over stressed. And I'm the cause of that stress.
Long-term therapy would help me, but I don't have mental-health coverage to pay for it.
If I don't find something stronger than Zoloft, I'd try it, thank you for suggesting it, yet I need something stronger acting to show my dad and myself that I'm improving. It's very hard for me to see my dad cry because of me.
