I use to be very confident in my abilities, to the extent that whatever life threw at me, I would think "it will all work out in the end, because I'm strong, smart, and determined". But I have been dealt so many bad hands in life, have made poor decisions that have made things worse, and developed a sorta learned helplessness. I really feel like that batteries have been completely taken out of me, and I am overwhelmed by my problems, feeling totally incapable of handling them; I feel very weak. I scroll mindlessly trying to distract myself, lay in bed, seek any small comfort or distraction to escape the pain, but nothing works, the pain is still there, and standing up to face the pain only leaves me burnt out. Even if the bulk of my problems remain, I at least want to regain that faith in myself that I use to have.
