Sometimes I feel I've failed...don't know how or who...just feel my life has been a disappointment. I've never had that pie in the sky job, never had a great marriage, never had perfect kids or a ton of money.
I know...they all sound so stupid yet the thoughts do cross my mind.
When do you feel truly OK w/yourself and your life? Or do you feel you've failed?
And PLEASE....be honest.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That, and after licking my wounds and wallowing in self pity for a few weeks, getting back on the horse and trying again.
We all fail, even "normal" folks. You read the bios of successful people and they've failed again and again and again, till they succeed.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Ok, so here's what I do. I forgive myself for my past screw ups, recognize that there are still cool things left to do and keep going.
Keep trying all!
What one baby step can we make for today, this week, this month and this year???
I've never had the dream job either...just a job to pay the bills.Now I don't even have a job, because I lost it because of a manic episode.
So now I feel like a big fat failure. I just try to stay positive and will get a job when I feel ready for it. I've attempted suicide in the past, but am happy it didn't work out that way.
Take Care and hang in there
