Just feel debilitated & defeated in general

It’s catastrophic. I’m 27 years old and I have dreams bigger than I can handle.. I love to think I can be anything even something incredible like a zoo medicine technician but.. I get fired for not being able to pay attention or multitask and for having tremors in my hands and lacking precision and accuracy at anything I try to do right.. I have mood and anxiety disorders and learning disabilities and a personality disorder.. I don’t even try to mess up and I bomb the job by just being who I am literally.. how can I ever accomplish anything in life realistically? I have been nothing but positive and diligent and done nothing but try, try, try. When will I stop constantly falling off into the deep end or just barely hanging off the edge by my bleeding, bruised fingernails and trying to pretend I am not falling so hard. Laughing awkwardly and telling the world that I don’t need it’s helping hand anymore to hold me up in order to be able to actually stand tall for once and not crumble...

I have been fired and I know what you are going through. Use the experience of your firing to see what in yourself you can change or improve upon to make yourself a better employee. Use the firing as feedback. Next, try and find a good friend to talk to about this. Have them be critical of yourself and point out where you can improve. This was an expensive lesson, try and learn from it. This is not easy. It will be hard. It will sux. But hopefully, you will come back stronger and better so you don't get fired again. I hope this helps. You have my support.

Hi Misty katerina, I am sorry that you have been let go from your job. You have mentioned tremors in the hands and difficulties to maintain precision and accuracy., mood changes and anxiety. Have you seen an endocrinologist to ask about these symptoms? Perhaps ask the doctors to have your thyroid function checked out before you see the endocrinologist. I have a link to a website that you can check out your symptoms against:

Don't give up on yourself. Once you receive treatment, all of these symptoms will disappear and you shall get your life on track again. Best wishes, Marie

Hi MistyKatrina I am so sorry you lost your job, however, I admire your tenacity and that you keep getting back up even when you feel defeated that is your special power and you will succeed. Your confidence is blown as is anyone who looses a job especially the one the dream of. Understandably your overwhelmed and deflated, however, I am reading a fighter, someone who came on here who is not ready to give up that is why you put your vulnerabilities in text, however, your strength of getting back up is going to help you win.
Your dreams are never to big, however, how you respond to failing can swallow your dreams. What you have to do is learn from your failures because failing is not bad it is just a hard classroom you have to learn from. Never trying is cowardly and never growing which is sad life. Take your failures and learn from them, overcome them, master them to your own personal best and never allow anyone to make you feel your personal best is not good enough. You have learning disabilities? You did not mention what they where, however, there are so many agencies who connect with employers who can help you in your journey to success since you did not say what your disabilities are I can not make specific suggestions.

    Hello,I do not share with my husband and others when I have a setback and feel depressed. Are you the same? I withdraw, so it is nice to just acknowledge challenges in this chat. Thank you,

    I lost my dog last July to cancer, as some of you might remember. It was devastating and I got very depressed, but through treatment I got back to "my normal" last month. I've been poking around the rescue sites to adopt a dog and I've seen a few since July and I visited them but decided I wasn't ready. I actually adopted one in September but realized I was too depressed and it was a mistake so I...
