    I can really relate to Zach. I lost 10 years of my adult life due to schizophrenia. I'm way behind other people my age. For a long time, I felt like a total failure. Now I'm making up for the lost time and realizing that while some other people may view me as loser, it doesn't have to be the way I think of myself.

      I've been outwardly very successful and lucky in my life. I didn't realize until recently that my successes were in spite of my self-destructive behavior and insecurities, not because of them. I am only saying this to point out that I feel like a failure constantly and wonder what I was doing with periods of my life all the time and you would probably never know it. I think it is true for many of us. I hope you're okay. Your relationship with yourself is so important.

Rather than nurturing the average man, which has never been a feature of American society over the past 250 years, capitalism distorts and destroys the human spirit in the individual's quest for simple food and shelter.

    Well your analysis of Zach scared the crap out of me, because I too, have consistently (starting at about age 12), felt that my life has been one failure after another & that I’m trapped on this vicious cycle.
    I do have major depression. I also have a past trauma that occurred at age 11.
    I wonder if Zach had something happen to him in his development years, some kind of trauma? That would make a lot of sense as to his constant feeling of guilt. I feel the same way, even though I know that what happened to me wasn’t my fault.
    I wish that Zach (and Addie) had been able to seek help for their psychiatric needs. Clearly through the use of illegal substances, they were both trying to escape from some serious pain.

      @FlaNative3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      That’s the thing about getting help / therapy, a lot of people will avoid it because they don’t want to think or talk about their past. But the pain is there either way, so they self medicate with drugs / alcohol, which causes other problems. Therapy may take awhile to work, but soon you feel better and learn ways to cope with stuff. I realize it’s not easy, especially when depression is present. But even if you haven’t had things stacked against you in life, we all still fail at things on a regular basis. You have to decide to look at it as a learning experience, don’t do it that way again. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect - it may sound like clichés, but it’s also true. Life is hard for most of us, no matter what you see on social media!!

    • @lostandfound5145

      I struggled with this for a long time and I’ve discovered that once you realize that your worth is simply in your soul existing. God loves you just for existing. Not for anything you accomplish materially. Life is about growth, development, overcoming obstacles. And learning to be human. And choosing good or evil. All that other stuff is just a distraction.
      You have to change the way you see failure. Did you know successful business owners usually fail 10-20 times on previous businesses before they succeed?
      And think about anything. Like riding a bike. How many times do you “fail” before you “succeed”?
      A failure is simply an opportunity for learning, growth and improvement. It does NOT define you or your worth at all!
      It is simply an opportunity to take in critical feedback and strive forward.
      Some of us fall a lot as we learn to walk. But it doesn’t make us any less deserving of love and respect.
      I recommend training a puppy. You’ll see all the failures your puppy has in figuring things out. But you won’t shame the puppy. You won’t dislike the puppy. So why should you shame yourself for failing?
      Last thing-try reading or listening to Dr Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life.
      It is a life changing book ❤️

Many losses of jobs, drugs, can't have a baby, to boot my father kicks him while he is down. The craziest part? In order to prove to my dad he isn't a failure he re-enlisted into the Army just this January and is about to graduate from bootcamp again as a 42 year old man. It's all very sad, however I still support his efforts.

    A profound and compassionate view of this tragedy... A lot of us can relate on some level. The narrative you tell yourself about your life can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, not always in a good way. When the people who mean the world to you tell you that you're destined for failure since you're a child, you desperately need someone to tell you that they're wrong or else you'll end up proving them right.
    and they're wrong, by the way...

    I wonder if this sort of thing isn't more common. For men, status is EVERYTHING. You miss a couple milestones and you can find yourself on the outskirts of society really quick unless you have the looks and charm to get around it. The shame compounds, the days fly by, and it gets harder and harder to catch up all while society keeps moving the goal posts on what makes a "real" man. He should have just gotten in good shape and became a con artist. Or lived on credit and moved to Thailand when the bank came knocking. But for that, he'd need to put down the drugs and focus.

    It feels like I’ve only really lived for six years. Everything else has been a waste. At first I had circumstances, people and surroundings to blame.
    Now it’s clearer than ever that I took charge somewhere along the way. But instead of rising above or doing something meaningful with my life, like 13 year old me dreamed of, I wish I could give up quickly and painlessly.

  • @joker6solitaire
    @joker6solitaire หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That milestone timeline you describe is exactly how I've always viewed my own life. Due to mental health issues, my 20s were a total bust despite great academic achievements since childhood. Months before my 30th birthday, I decided that my life was a complete failure because I had not lived up to my potential, had no career, no husband, and no child. My mother and two of my sisters had all those things by age 30, and I'd grown up being praised for my high intelligence, yet achieved nothing. Clearly I'm a waste of life, I thought, so I resolved to kill myself.
    Oddly enough, a major progress in my artistic pursuits made me decide to get professional help instead; I realized it would be a waste to throw away all that effort and achievement, despite the fact that it was a small hobby rather than a job. So I got intensive therapy, including antidepressants for the first time, and gradually let go of that milestone timeline I'd grown up measuring myself against. I still recall what one therapist said after hearing my reasons to kill myself: "Isn't 30 an arbitrary number? Why not 22, or 47, or 56?" That little question gave me a lot of perspective.

This is beyond the behavior of someone who feels like he failed. And he was not wrong about the failing part. The truth was he failed because of personal choices he made. He planned a part in his education, the women he dated, he behavior in the military, and the murder he commited.

I get more respect than anyone who wasn’t a combat vet. It’s not a problem(especially since my discharge is seriously only a issue of my discharge date, and signing back up for the reserves, sorta by accident, but I have a year in Iraq, with a good conduct discharge. Red tape left me a general discharge under honourable conditions… but DO NOT affect my life. It’s all good,and not the devastating condition dr grande suggested. I still have va benefits, I still am in contact with my brothers and sisters in arms(since the idea of them disowning me would be INSANE). All Americans deserve health care. ALL!!!
