I have been struggling with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety and depression. I am slightly heavier than I would like to be and am struggling to lose weight. Sometimes I make myself sick (something I have done, on and off, for years).
I went to a v prestigious university and many of my contempories are extremely successful -diplomats, barristers, high ranking journalists etc. I do not feel as successful as them. Am a teacher - don't feel that good at it, just muddle through.
I recently attended a university reunion type event and the popular ones were just as popular and I felt that I was boring and lacked social skills. It brought back how dreadfully unhappy I was at university. My friend, who I was getting a lift home with, decided to leave after we had only been at the event two hours and I had travelled 200 miles to be there. It was such a waste of time :(
I don't like myself very much and feel a massive sense of failure. I am filled with regret for things I should have done.
I am constantly arguing with dh - not at all happy and we have 3 v small dcs. I feel like life is one long hard slog and there is no joy in it. I feel sorry for my children for having a mum like me.
