I actually teared up when I read this ... not necessarily for your situation now, as that's all fixable (difficult, but fixable). But for that little six-year-old you, sitting in the corner and crying while no one noticed. Everyone deserves to be noticed. For what it's worth, we notice you. We care.
I was going through a difficult time around 26 and 27 years old, as well -- feeling the pressure of the single life and feeling that my friendships were hollow ... asking, "Who would really be there for me?"
I eventually (and temporarily) got on some medication that pulled me out of my funk, and I stopped trying to be someone I wasn't. I took on more and more at work, I came out, and I realized that my life was my life -- unique and not to be limited by the definitions that anyone else had for what I was supposed to be.
PM me if you want to chat. I'd be happy to help. Know I feel for you, and that is hopefully a comfort -- knowing that others do care. And also know that Memphis is asking the right question: you've identified a number of problems -- now what are you doing to address them? Ask why. Then ask why again. Then ask why three more times. Then fix that root issue.
Easier said than done, but it's doable. Again, PM me if you need anything.
