I’ll probably be saying what everyone else said already, but there are some parts of your writing that (I believe) should be given attention.
“I’ve done wrong and I’ve done right.”
That is how it should be. No one lives without making a mistake. If it were the opposite, our lives would’ve been hella boring.
If you are worried about your mistakes, the only thing you can do about them is not repeat them, but clinging on them and straining yourself is a waste of time. Move on, there is no use of crying over spoilt milk.
“I’m a failure as an adult when I compare myself to others in my age.”
You are comparing yourself to others. It is futile and counterproductive in a few ways.
1. You don’t really know the ones you are comparing yourselves with. Look at Bob. He is so damn awesome, everyone loves him, he is successful at job, has a wonderful wife and kids. You wished you were like him, don’t you?
What you don’t know is that Bob, while nice to you, is a complete asshole to his wife and kids. He is where he is at job because he sabotaged his colleagues and manipulated his way. While you see nice smile and good words by others, what really is there is a rotten bastard. You still want to be like him?
Over there is Jenna. She looks so happy and cheerful. You look at her and think “Gee, I wish I was so positive like Jenna. I bet her life is great”. What you don’t know is that Jenna’s family is falling apart and her health is getting worse. She is devastated, but she puts a smile because she tries to run away from her worries and does not want to bother others.
The point: you see only one part of the person, only the part you want to see, or are let to see. You have no idea what is behind the success, and nice smile, and the “he’s so great”. Since you can’t see the person from all sides, comparing yourself as a better or worse human is invalid from the start.
2. Sometimes, other people simply can do something you simply can’t. Usain Bolt runs like crazy, and has won a lot of races. You can’t run for fifty meters without getting tired. Are you a worse human? No. You just can’t run as much as him. On another side, he can do something you can without breaking a sweat. None of you is worse or better.
The moral: You are you, and Bolt is Bolt. Comparing two humans makes no sense. It’s like judging a corn because it can’t smell as pretty as a rose, or judging a rose because you can’t make flour of it. You see how ridiculous that is? It’s the same with humans.
3. There is always someone better. If you one up Bolt, you’ll get someone else you’ll have to one up, and when you do that, another one will come. It never ends. You can’t objectively be better than everyone, all the time, everywhere. That’s why being as best you can get is way better, not being better in comparison to others, because comparing to others is, like written above, futile.
“I’ve been the last weeks outside emergency rooms for psychology help, but never went inside.”
I used to be very afraid of dentists. When my tooth started hurting, I avoided going, because I was afraid. My tooth didn’t give a damn, and kept hurting, and my whole head was tortured. One day, I just said “Fuck it, Snežana, you have no choice. Get your ass up and go.” So I went, got my tooth out, and now I’m at peace.
I wrote that not because I think you are interested in my teeth, but to tell you that, simply, you have no choice either. If you sit there and ignore it, it will only get worse. I have a hole in my jaw, but I got rid of a painful tooth. You will end up with a mental hole in your mental jaw, but you’ll get rid of a mental tooth that gives you a mental headache. On the long run, that is only beneficial.
“I like to think of this as a first step towards something I don’t know.”
That is the whole adventure. Who knows where you’ll get. Whatever it is, it’s better than sitting around and let the bad go to worse.
Sorry for writing a novel, and if I came out as impolite, it is not my intention. I hope that this may at least clear something out for you. If not, well, you wasted your time in reading a wall of bullshit. I’ll try not to do that again.
Have a nice day,and go to that doctor.
