Never good enough

[trekkinthrulife]

I was doing so well lately, happy even, but I'm hitting a dark patch and currently I feel like nothing I do will ever be good enough for family/frends/myself. I work so hard, at school, at work, at riding, at being happy, at making others happy, but it doesnt matter. Everyone seems angry at me, I fail at everything I enjoy, and I can't find an internship. Why do I keep trying so hard when it never pays off

I'm frustrated and hurt and annoyed because I can't make the feelings go away.

Don't be so hard on yourself hun, everyone goes through feeling like they're hitting a dead end sometimes.
Focus on yourself more, and what you know will make you happy, rather than others. You need to put yourself first, and then you can make others happy when you are :)

Wow you do riding, as in horse riding? I've been riding for a few years now :) Inbox me sometime!

Keep on trying (without overdoing it and stressing yourself out further) and it'll pay off eventually hun

have you tried writing a list of one or two good things and trying to replace your focus to that instead?

I understand how you feel and I too feel like a constant failure, but sometimes I do things that I know I'm good at and focus on my achievements rather than failures. One thing that has helped has been removing the pressure from myself to be perfect and accept I can only try and that that in itself is enough because no-one is perfect.

Yes riding as in horses. I love it, I bought myself a horse when I was 16, he's my world. Im always up to talking about horses lol

Today was a great day and its only 10:30! I have an interview for an internship! Seeing results makes me feel a lot better

that's good. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Write about how good your feeling then you can read it when the world comes crashing down again, if it does.
