I have been sliding in and out of depression in the last 13 months.
I guess I have exhausted every iota of strength in me.
I have gotten to a point in my life were the only reason I don’t have the courage to commit suicide is because of my son.
It is hard.. just hard.
I have always been there for everyone but that’s all I am good for.
My background has not helped matters. My parents built every form of inferiority complex into me to the extent that I am always willing to please people just so they could like me. Yet, they like me enough for my free services
I have avoidant personality disorder and it breaks me each time it comes up in my social behaviour because I know that wasn’t who I was meant to be.
I hear stories from my childhood and they are stories of a smart and socially bold toddler but my parents felt that was a wrong way to be a Christian firstborn and female child.
They broke me with words. Always telling me how other kids were better than I am. The public scolding, the starvation, and I had to lie against myself one time like that because I wanted the beating to stop.
I’m married to a man that leaves in his own world. I could cry my eyes out yet he wouldn’t notice. He is aiming to be a pastor but he is so disconnected from me.
He tends to use nasty words when angry and I have started living in fear.
I guess the trauma of my background is not helping matters in handling his words.
I live with so many uncertainty.
Financially, I have tried all and I mean all I can and could but I end up in debts.
I have questioned in prayers if I’m under a curse.
Right now, I have debts running into $3000 and my husband has been out of job since January.
I run several jobs as well as sell whatever is able for sale.
I’m overwhelmed.
My mum’s health is not so good yet I can’t afford to do a thing about it.
I feel like a failure really.
I have tried unsuccessfully to launch online with my skills but no success.
Due to my inferiority complex, I avoid those doing something similar as what I do. I just don’t want to reminded that I’m failing.
While I hear people advise networking as a career and business solution, I wish I had the courage to reach out without feeling less of myself.
I have a good heart. People tell me all the time but why isn’t it paying off like it should?

    Hi sorry for the bad upbringing,I feel you should use that to encourage yourself,work smarter and get out of your shell.
    You can have highself exteem by constantly telling yourself that your not what people think you are,call yourself good names and dare to do new things.
    Build up your faith and believe in God for a better tomorrow.
