I can remember not feeling like this. Today was just a really bad day for me. My new policy has been to be as honest as I possibly can, all of the time. Not that I used to be a great liar about events, mostly just about the way I felt. That included melying to me. But in this new found honestly I have found two things. One is my own misery.

You know Eric, I'd never feel sorry for you. You are a capable person with reasonable concerns about who he is and where he is going in life. Were you to stop worrying about such things... then perhaps I would feel sorry for you. Take it from someone who continued down the same path you are on now + 5 years. If you take that concern, turn it into a plan and act on the items laid out in that plan... your life will change forever from that point forward. Don't share it with others, don't ask them if they think it's a good idea. These decisions are yours and no one can take them or make them for you... though they will often try. Give it a shot. Go someplace quiet with a pen and a pad. Write down 3 things that you want to have happen in the next year and some of the steps that you will have to complete to accomplish them. Follow through and take it easy on yourself. It's what I did in a terrible time of my life and it made all of the difference in the world. Teen to twenties is a huge transition and it's not easy. Expect a lot out of yourself and don't bash yourself if you don't achieve it... just find out why you didn't and make the correction. I once heard that when a plane flies across the country they, of course, plot a starting and ending point. Throughout that journey though they are forced to make constant corrections due to outside forces. You are the pirate pilot of this ship... do it man.
