Feel a failure

    I know I shouldnt feel this but I do. Im married with a mall girl I teach . Have family and some friends . However there is a sense of emptiness. A void I cant fill.

    Whatever I try I feel a failure at. I feel I should be earning more-a success like my brother who is a millionaire or in some hot shot job.
    I feel lazy. I dont prepare enough for class. I miss about 8 days a year with the blues. I dont earn enough.Im not even that great at any hobby I try. I lack discipline.

    But I do turn up for class most days. Try My best. I run 3 times a week.

    Do you ever feel your life has been one long atlantic drift?
    Perhaps its existential angst.
    I dont know.

    Op your being very hard on yourself

    A friend once told me she wished I could see myself through her eyes and then I would see how great I was and I think you may need to do the same think of all the good things you do and give yourself a break

    The only difference between you and the other people you think have a wonderful life is that you are speaking up with how you feel. We should never judge our lifes on how others live we can only be the best version of ourselves
