I'm 32 and only recently started to try to overcome my problems. One thing I know is attacking yourself doesn't help. Its the only person you have right now and is guaranteed to never leave you.

There's no need to wait for permission or for anything to come at you from outside yourself to be good enough. No one else can like someone more than they can like themselves.

Everytime these thoughts come up and I know its a lot, immediately replace it with something such as "I am improving everyday" etc. It wont be a lie. Calling yourself a waste if space is truly the lie.

Keep away from looking up to or identifying with others who have given up or resigned from their own lives. There are good and decent, successful people right now that have been through whatever you're going through.

I personally would never say you "lost" anything when she moved on. We are all meant to keep moving on. Life's meant to be a challenge with its own rewards for those strong and kind enough to themselves to become aware of their own adversities then turn away and overcome them.

I didn't live before I got old

31 is not old!! :laugh: You've got lots and lots of time left. It doesn't matter what you think you did or didn't do before.

Some firmly believe that there is no past or future but just the present. It's an inspiring mindset when you keep feeling disillusionment.
