I believe that there comes a time in everyone's life where you stop and ask yourself, "so why am I here again?" and I think that the biggest problem is that everyone is so busy searching for a purpose that you loose the one thats right in front of you. I know because I've been there. The simple fact that you have family and that you have friends seems like a pretty good reason to be here to me.
Not to worry. You might feel lost and lonely sometimes but you are definitely no the only one, and with time it Will get better. I promise. Never be afraid to open up to people about your feelings either. Especially about things like this because I can almost guarantee you that they've been there as well and they will understand. Opening up on this site is definitely a good start. I'm glad I did. Hang in there K12, it will work out. You'll see.
Hi there...Jean is dead on.
Everyone wonders if they are any good, or if they belong. It doesnt mean you arent or that you dont, its just our way of evaluating ourself.
Is there a job or a volunteer position you can look for that will help you gain more confidence or find something you like more?
Best,

K12, you are in a place where many people find themselves. Please don't be afraid to confide in someone about these feelings. A counselor, or a therapist if you can find one, will understand these feelings and be able to help you through them.
It's an age-old question all humans ask themselves, "What is my purpose for being here?" We all want to be remembered, and you can be one who is, but it takes very small steps first.
In the meantime (of your finding someone locally to share with) can you think about volunteering any free time, to help others? There are plenty of ways, and the rewards from those you come in touch with will help you keep going.
