I don't think your worthless. I've seen some of your comments, and you seem to be a very caring person who is trying to get better. That does not equate to worthless. What helps me is to think of some good qualities I have, or a difficult time that I had overcome.

I understand about parents. I think they try to understand and they want to help, but sometimes, they just do not know how. I'm very thankful to have my parents. Even though we don't always get along, and we don't always understand one another, I don't know what I would do without them. Everyday I think about what I'm thankful for. Yes, things could always be better, but in many ways they could be much worse. Hope you feel better, hugs. :-)

I know I have some good qualities but it still so hard to live on a daily basis. I am very thankful for my parents, but they still just don't get it. I try to tell them what's going on in my head and they just keep saying that i'm not the only one to go through this. I just don't know what to do. My mom keeps saying how much I need to find a job. But I don't have a car. So. i'm stuck with finding some little local job. This really sucks and I don't know what to do about it.

Those closest to us have a tendency to make us more anxious. And, I'm having a very difficult time with the job situation as well. I wake up with panic attacks almost every morning. It gets me down a lot, but I keep trying. That's all we can do, keep trying, keep the negative thoughts at bay, and never give up.

putting out the applications to jobs that are within the bus route would be what I would do but I am not sure there is a bus around you some places have none....wishing you good things....jobs can be hard to find so when one comes along do your best to be the best employee even if you do not like being the best....

Sometimes it helps to make a list. What are you good at? What nice things have people said about you in your lifetime? What are your strengths? Look at that list so that you realize that you are not the person of a sad time or moment, but the person of your whole lifetime.

It can help if you put those positive things on post-its. Put them in areas you frequent to remind you of the good person that you are. If you struggle to think of positive things, ask your friends and the people at DS that have gotten to know you what they like about you.

I did an exercise similar to this in a women's group. I was shocked of the nice things others saw in me that I didn't. Or I had forgotten my strengths and positive traits.

I hope you can look at the positive. The wonderful people here will try to help. Hugs

I suppose my mom always says how creative I am. She keeps telling me to knit more.

That's a start: Being creative. A part time job in a craft store might be fun. Many stores give lessons. You could teach others to knit. My mom and aunt used to crochet and knit things for the veterans and hospitals. Giving to others by volunteering can make a person feel better about themselves. It builds confidence and you feel you are appreciated.

You come across as being articulate and intelligent. You are also polite and thoughtful from things I have read. These are some more positive traits.

If you take a local job, you can save money for a used car. Then you can get a better job farther away. My son rode a bicycle to work, saved money and bought a car.

Things are doable when a person is determined. It takes baby steps to make big strides.
