• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I feel so disappointed in myself. I feel sad I couldnt pass my classes havinf 2 small kids and virtually no support system is no joke.

Idk why I even thought it was possible to do.

So.. I got a car and it was having issues i couldnt put my kids in daycare and I couldnt do mt school work bc i had the kids. No my family doesnt ans wont watch them while i do my school work they just wont. So i couldn't study.

Then with Covid the daycare shut down multiple times.

I just feel like the worlds biggest failure. I always felt like having a degree would give me some value and I just couldnt do it. I love my kids but anyone reading can learn from me that unless you have a solid support system your goals will be deferred.

I just wish I couldve done it.

I tried. I really did.


I feel sad.. I feel like i wont be anything just trapped in stupid warehouses working crazy hours to make ends meet and not have time for my kids.

I just feel like I lost and failed all at the same time

And im dealing with a break up.

Sis, I don't think that it has as much to do with personal failure as it does with the simple fact that it's difficult all over for so many people. You're one of those people, along with the rest of us. Many of us are stuck in dead-end jobs, too, with unhelpful families (or none) while responsibilities pile up to the sky. We feel like we're trapped in a losing side of life, blocked from what we'd like to be and do. We might even have a college degree and we're still not 'moving ahead.'

Do yourself a favor, take a deep breath in, and know that you're not a failure; you're just human like the rest of us and all you can do is the best that you can do in an uncooperative world.

two thoughts, one talk to your school guideance counselor and see if maybe they can help in some way. Maybe your profs will give you a simple pass fail grade or allow some other accommodation, do not just give up. two talk to your church and see if they can help you with child care, there are retired people who may be willing to help with the kids, I know I said two thing but also see if you can get some additional help with your studies, senior students may help you or joining a study group may help, I think you tried to do this on your own without using the resources that may be available to you.

I disnt just give up. I tried my absolute hardest. I did. Professors do not care they dont. Whwn my aunt was in school her brother ( my uncle) passed and she told her professor and he still failed her. Professors dont care. You either make the grade or you dont.

Keep pushing through the desert my friend. Knowing, that as you carry your cross, jesus is, indeed, carrying you!

Myself, had, and still going through rough times. 4 years and counting!! Not nice at all. But, through it all, my love and faith in God has never failed. I will push on.

God bless

Sorry I was not suggesting that you gave up only that you explore all potential sources of assistance, some of which I did not expect you to be familiar with.
