    Default I feel crazy

    I feel like I'm a failure at 22. I feel like I'm not really good at anything, be it stripping, school, relationships, friendships, getting what I want, etc. My life has just been filled with problems forever.
    Why do I feel like this now? It's been a bad week. I dropped the two classes I was taking that I paid for myself to work on things for my day job as to not get fired. And now I might get fired anyway. On top of that, I worked a a mandatory day shift on Sunday and made like 50 dollars. I NEVER do that badly, but I was so worried about my other job I couldn't relax.
    I did a grand total of my debt the other day, and it is $8,325.83.
    My employers -- or ex-employers -- owe me $2,835.
    I have no degree. I don't really have any special talents. I used to have hobbies (guitar, knitting, photography) but lately I haven't been doing anything. I haven't worked out in a very long time.
    I need to save myself. I want to get my own apartment. I started a savings account. I'm going to work tonight and every other night this week just to catch up and feel a bit better about everything.

    I used overdraft protection on my bank account and it cost me $20. I had no idea there was a charge. And this sent me over the edge today. I really need to get it together.

    You've barely started, sun. Relax. Relax. There is plenty of time to make dramatic, interesting, profound changes. All you need is the will to make it happen.

    You sound depressed, not "crazy," in the clinical psychosis sense.

    How to get yourself out of depression? It's been recommended before, endlessly, but it's true: Exercise and avoiding situations, people and substances (self medicating with booze or drugs is never a good idea) that drag you down.

    Also learning a new skill is very empowering. Doesn't matter what skill. Anything will do: Cooking, car repair, computers. The new skill will give you confidence and help restore your balance.

    Good luck with everything!

    I've been feeling like that yesterday. I'm not doing very well in one of my classes and it just all went downhill from there... Thoughts like, "I'll never graduate, I'm too stupid to have a degree, I'll be bad at my future career if I even get there because I'm too stupid, I'd probably be broke if I tried to strip as a full-time job. I suck at life." But just a month ago, I felt super smart and on top of everything. Try to calm down. Things will start going up... At least that's what I've been telling myself.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Looking at the big picture can be overwhelming for anybody. I mean everyone has their bad... things, but focusing on them makes them worse than they really are. You're in school, your better prepared then those that didn't make it out of high school. You meet alot of interesting people and get paid for it. The debts can all be taken care of by prioritizing which ones need to go first. Excersing fiscal responsibility can make you feel better as you increase your capital. I mean the thing is don't get stuck on the negative end of the spectrum.

    Just slow down and assess the situation. You are accomplishing alot. While I don't know about your friendships or relationships, you shouldn't stress over that because good things come to those who wait. (I'm not saying you should just sit on your ass and wait, but you know what I mean.) The world can be very negative, but you should focus on the positives, embrace them and let them carry you over the negative as you re-invent yourself. There is much that is beautiful in the world and much that you can have, you just have to find the strength within yourself to go out and make it yours. You're only 22, that's to early to loose faith in the future. Keep your head up and I hope everything turns out well for you.

    Oh man, do I know that feeling. It's completely normal. There should be a counselor at your school if you think that might help; it definitely helped me. Anyway everyone else's advice here is good... just know you're not alone, we ALL feel like that sometimes.
