Frustrated with myself

Post Reply New Topic

I am just so frustrated that I can’t ever seem to make anything of myself. I was supposed to be the family genius that went off and got her PhD and made something of myself. Instead I ended up with just an associate’s degree from a community college and when I tried for my bachelors I dropped out not once but three times. Now that I’m married I feel like I’m a horrible wife; I can’t keep the house clean, I tend to ignore my husband when he is talking to me even though it’s not intentional, and I am pretty much a hermit that doesn’t like doing anything with him and his friends. I have a decent paying job right now as an administrative assistant at a very laid back office, but we are moving and I’m worried about finding work. The only skills I have are in an office environment, but I can’t work in corporate offices that are high stress because I become overwhelmed so easily. I have been trying to work on my writing skills, but I keep leaving my projects unfinished just to start a new one.

I just want to be able to complete something for once in my life. I want to make my husband and family proud. I want to be the daughter my father brags about again.

Oh, that's hard.
