You didn't go down the wrong path. You chose a different one that's all. Just because you did some things differently to others doesn't mean that it was wrong. The only right and wrong in life is hurting other people for your own benift. I know how bad it feels at the moment, just remember you have nothing to be ashamed about. This is your journey.

im sorry ur minds in overdrive huni. but please stop comparin urself 2 ur friend. just cuz she says on myspace that shes happy doesnt necessarily mean she is, either. lots of people go down the wrong path in life - its what u do now that matters. and ur obviously determined to try get help - u went 2 the dr which is a fab sign. please dont give up. xxx

I can relate to the despair of compare...It is so useless, but I do it to myself all the time...I am 39, in huge debt, have no career, have a child that I need to be sending off to college in a few years and can hardly provide her a burrito from taco bell at the moment...I live with my parents and hold no assets...EVERYONE is doing better than I am...Those looping thoughts you were having were the substance of my whole existence for the last four or five years...They finally got the better of me, and I feel into the deep dark whole of existential despair in which I am now dwelling...Don't waste your time comparing...Just start working on you, because that is the only effective thing you can do anyway...And you are still quite young enough to do a million wonderful things...school, family, home ownership, peace corps...wahtever :0)

Use all the energy you're putting into worrying about how you went 'down the wrong path' towards changing the direction of your life towards something you'd like. Going to the dr was a good start. Decide how you want to be and then take the steps necessary to get there! Beating yourself up about it will get you nowhere but further in a rut. You can do it!

i don't think the path you chose was wrong...just maybe not what you wanted it to be...and it's never too late to change direction...
HARD LEFT TURN ! LOL

I am sorry that you feel so bad. We all have our own successes. Including you. Sit back and count the people you helped or made smile or encouraged. They are successes. It isnt what we do for a living that defines us it is how we live our lives and how we treat others that counts.

    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...
