Dear SallyDaisy:

This is what I see in what you shared: you feel very, very sad. You have very little joy in life and a lot of sadness. You feel lonely and have felt lonely for so very long. You used to have hope and you moved to the other side of the world because of that hope, your objective was- a  fresh start!

You and I have a lot in common, l was very lonely too and I felt like a failure for so long. But I was still hopeful and I moved to the other side of the world by myself, to start a new life. But the old life caught up with me three months after the move, when my mother visited me.

Like you, I too believed that I was worthless.

Notice this, you wrote: “In every job I’ve had here, no  one likes me.. I try to keep to myself”- it could be that people don’t like you because you keep to yourself and they think that you don’t like them. People like people who like them, who act friendly toward them.

Will you tell me about your therapy, how long and why do you believe that it is not working?
