You are very hard on yourself. I wonder how many of those choices were truly yours to make or were you stuck and having to make the best choice out of all difficult ones?
I took some terrible jobs whilst I was growing up and up through uni..
Do you work now? What about something like an evening class?
Do you have friends and family around?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Hi and welcome, lovely. I didn’t get past A levels because I had a breakdown at 16, and realised that trying to do uni would risk another crisis. I have since gone to night school to do an HNC in Business and Finance, qualified as a reflexologist, and am currently studying theology (working from home). I took the decision to see my education as a hobby rather than a means to work - which makes it much more enjoyable and less stressful.
You’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself by looking at what you ‘should’ have done. What is it that you ‘want’ to do?
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
