I'm worthless. I always mess things up, there's nothing I can do right. I suck at sports, I suck at making friends, I suck at everything. I suck at playing instruments, I suck at writing, there's nothing I can do better than anybody else. I feel like I'm worthless, and I feel like just staying in bed all day, and starving to death.

Nobody has skills from birth. Find something you're interested in or passionate about, and develop it.

If you want to develop writing, start writing.

The Japanese have this idea of ki (Chinese: qi), life energy that flows through you. Whether it is a literal belief is irrelevant, but I noticed one thing to be consistently true. When you let your life energy become still, it becomes stale, like sour milk. In other words, idling makes everything go bad.

You need to find something to do. To create. That's when you regain contact with human natural ability to take joy from little things, and chemicals in your brain straighten out so you no longer feel dead inside.

Whenever I feel like I can't write, I read. In my opinion, it helps your writing, and at the very least it'll give you a sense of accomplishment for finishing a book.

Hope this helps.

DBB, you do have skills. Write a journal about how you feel about not having skills, and your other problems, and then get it published. that's what I'm doing. Talk about your life with a PDD in your book.
