everything i try to do leads to failure

i should probably see a therapist but that will just end with me ranting about how my problems range from myself to the world at large, and how everything just makes me depressed or angry because it's either a result of my own failures or a result of the collective failures of the rest of humanity to do something constructive, and i've already seen six different therapists who either just listen and nod and tell me to come back next week or give me some bullshit prescription for yet-another SSRI that will do nothing but make me feel even less than i already do

anything i'm even decent at, someone else is already doing and doing it better than i can

every space for a social/industrial role i've ever seen in my life is already filled by someone else who, again, does it better than i can and seems to do it with far less effort than i'd need to expend

every friendship i've ever had has ended either with the other person dropping me because i'm too fucking autistic and self-critical to cooperate in a constructive way that isn't just straight up consumer consumption, or with me dropping them because the relationship has dragged on forever with nothing fun happening and tons of downtime and a mutual understanding of my failures and depression which leads directly and solely to the conclusion that they pity me and fear my eventual suicide if they're the one to drop me first

i've been on a bunch of SSRIs but they all make me feel like a robot, and ever since the first one gave me inorgasmia i've had permanent superorgasmia or whatever where i can't last more than 30 seconds

on top of that i've wanted to die since i was 4 because i want to be a girl, but because of my constant failure i've been afraid of taking the dive into full transness, and these delays have progressively obliterated my chances of success in the only thing that stands a chance of making me happy

i'm a huge fucking NEET and all the skills i used to have are neglected to the point of complete atrophy, and the music and visuals that used to occupy my imagination have been replaced with static noise

the only thing on the planet that makes me feel like not wanting to die is cannabis, but that doesn't get me anywhere because once i feel even the slightest bit of contentness with myself i just want to sleep and not do anything productive because it's the easiest way out of immediate failure, although it's not like anything productive i ever do is of any meaningful quality whether i'm high or not

the only thing that keeps me living is my cats who only love me because i give them food and are fucking autistic and don't understand how to play with toys despite me trying to play with them every fucking day since they were 8 weeks old and are afraid of affection despite me being nothing but nice to them since the day i knew them, and tangentially the possibility of getting high in the future so i can have a temporary reprieve from wanting to die every single second of my entire existence

i cannot focus on anything because of suicidal ideation, it's already too late to transition successfully, i have no skills because i could never focus, i have no job connections because i have no friends because i have inverse confidence because i've never known anything but failure and rejection, i've dropped out of every single postsecondary program i've ever enrolled in, and i only have enough money to subsist for another six months

this is pretty much the end because the next six months are going to be even more empty and unconstructive than the last 312 months of my life and i don't know what to do because anything i do will almost certainly fail and leave me with even less money than before and an even greater reason to end my life immediately

Dear anon,
I feel like I can relate a whole lot to your story. If you are in the mood for talking to a stranger, my Skype is: someonegetmethatshinybottle.

But Anon surely you believe people can always turn things around, right? I mean you can live with yourself day to day, right? Are you really convinced that it's impossible?

>once i feel even the slightest bit of contentness with myself i just want to sleep and not do anything productive

This is depression but it's not necessarily you

>i have no skills because i could never focus, i have no job connections because i have no friends

I think you can still get a job even if you don't have much confidence in yourself

>every friendship i've ever had has ended

Same here

>wanting to die every single second of my entire existence

Can you explain this further?

>on top of that i've wanted to die since i was 4 because i want to be a girl,


I can relate anon. I struggled a lot with that. But what eventually got me through it was a combination of support and talking about it. My last girlfriend was so ridiculously accepting of what I saw as a massive problem with myself, that I stopped worrying about it entirely.

for me, overcoming dysphoria and trans-related issues was a matter of acceptance that I'm me no matter what I am on the outside. So you don't need to transition to be happy, you just have to accept yourself.

On a board this slow I doubt there's a possibility of a back-and-forth with you (or any OP). But anyway, a few things.

i can deeply relate to everything you said (and i mean that, sincerely. i would elaborate but it'd basically be reiterating) except the part about wanting to be a girl. say a little more about that. if you explore a deeply held desire like that, it's probably your best shot at figuring out the kinds of things that would make you happy. you even say this. why is that the only thing that could make you happy? what is it specifically about being a girl that you imagine would make your life different? psychological benefits? material benefits? what? i used to mentally cordon off sexuality but i've come to realize there's value in reflecting on it and how it personally sits in your psyche. coming to terms with why i love the things i do has told me basically what i want out of life: low-level, primal connection. my mind is a perfect engine of repelling other people, and the only chance i have at not feeling totally alone is the uncritical and unintellectual warmth of sensory gratification. i'm now realizing my pointless rant could've been tl;dr'd with "hedonism", but it's not quite that. at least, the realization felt more personal than that

back to you. reflect more on why you want to be a girl. it'll tell you something about what you want out of life. if you can isolate the attributes of that lifestyle that appeal to you, you can at least try to work toward them independently of whether you can actually biologically become a girl.

you're also on the right track with the living for weed thing. don't be so soon to proclaim what substances can and cannot make you happy. you're living in the golden age of advancement. if nothing else, you should keep living for the very real possibility of an imminent "perfect drug" or some other technological advancement that would forcibly compel your psyche to enjoy itself. if you're like me, you can even try to, in whatever way possible, devote your life to furthering those interests. even if you're too lazy to, subsist anyway so that you can eventually take part in it.

late as fuck and i'm sure i said some stupid shit. i can so easily see myself in your position though, i couldn't ignore your post.
