No insight at all, I'm afraid.
But I know that overwhelmed and alone feeling only too well.
You are not a Pathetic Loser. But maybe seeing yourself as all Capable Strong and Able is setting you up to feel disappointed in yourself.
Maybe that's where the shades of grey come in. Or mixing the black and white a bit. Few people are always Strong and Capable and Able. And luckily most people have a reasonable amount of Strong and Capable and Able.
So maybe sometimes you're strong, capable, and able. And sometimes you want someont to be strong, capable, and able for you. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.
But then again, I'm the one who never ever wants to be a grownup, so take what I say for what it's worth. :)
