Need serious help.

Well as you can tell by my subject and forum name I have lost all self esteem. I'm a drastic situation. If I had the courage I would no longer walk this Earth. I have become the most bitter, hateful, self-centered bastard you could imagine.

7 Basic Needs Test
1. I talk to lifelong friend daily. I try to chit chat with co-workers.
2. Sleep has become a bit better w/ 20mg of Ambien. Though with out it I have no purpose to get up. My work has tolerated me coming into work when I get their for 3 years now.
3. This need is wanted badly. I have no self worth. Why try each day except to give to the machine. I'm not in a position to help humanity. If I was I'm not going to make a dent anyways.
4. I had religion forced down my throat in my early years. So this is a real hard need to ever fulfull.
5. I use to self teach my self various subject. But I have no patience. I lose focus and then fall in to the mindset of why even bother. In 50 or sooner years I'll be dead.
6. I really think this need has never been addressed.
7. I must have some control I haven't lost it or hurt anyone yet. I swear it's a struggle sometimes. Driving is very stressful, waiting in line is another nightmare. In these position rage starts setting in for no apparent reason. 50% of the time someone get a severe tongue lashing and then I'm called an a**hole which of course I am.

Background info:
29 Male Single
Sexually, Physically, and Mentally Abused as a child
Raised in multiple foster care homes
Multiple Jr. High and Highschools.
No College

Currently I'm a Software Engineer for a Major Computer Man. Company.

Many would say I've made it. I might of in someone elses eyes. But I've made it with a ton of harsh baggage. I really don't know how I cope day to day. Except to know I believe I block a ton of stuff out. My memories are vague, none are vivid.

I had taken some meds to help with this but I'm currently med free. I had been prescribed Paxil,Celexa, Lex, Neurontin, Seroquel. They kind of made things better but I didn't know who I was on these drugs. They really changed me. It was a bit scary. After seeing a positive reaction from society. I feel seriously hard into another depression from guilt of being a very bad person. I'm lost here guys and gals. I don't know any way out that is productive. I appreciate anyone who has the courage to talking my issue.

thanks,

Hi flawedhuman! (I guess we are all one of those - at least I don't know anyone who's perfecthuman... :wink: )

Welcome to our forums - it's the first of the month, and you are trying something new!

I have a question for you - what makes you think you are a bad person? How do you know this? Did someone tell you so, or did you come to this conclusion yourself? Have you ever questioned whether it is really true?

This is a warm, friendly place and I hope you will pick up lots of good things here with us!
