i tried Paxil. I tried Fluoxetine. I tried seeing different therapists. Nothing helps. They say these feelings are not permanent. Then how come I can't stop feeling this way? I have no higher education, I have no skills, I have no job, I have no friends, I've never been in serious relationships. No one loves me except for my poor mother, who's been supporting me my whole life. I have no motivation to do anything. I'm too old to learn anything. Anything I ever tired I always failed. I have means to kill myself, but i have failed twice already. This stupid fear self-preservation instinct seems to keep stopping me.... I hate myself so much. I hate everything about myself, especially my looks. I have wasted my whole life, by sitting at home....... If God exists, why can't he give me courage to leave this pointless life?......
