Hello micheal
That sounds alot like me. These feelings wax and wane. Right now, they're on a high with me.
Sigh. I'm bitter because mental ill-health has taken so much away from me. My contempories are in their final years of PhDs at Cambridge or moving up the ranks of their chosen profession or starting their law conversion courses or in their second years at PhDs at Harvard. I have done *nothing* for the last year and seeing them in all their success is a bitter pill for me to swallow - why am I not more like them?? I got just the same grades etc at college. I guess i'm not too hot at 'life'.
I just want to know why I have to suffer from depression and my friends don't. Why is it such a battle for me to just be normal like them???? How come they don't crack up and crumble following major stress like I do???
Will I never reach my full potential in life because I have depression??
Sigh. Kind regards
Meri
