I don’t know how to justify my existence anymore.

So for the last eight years I feel that along with losing my youth I have just destroyed any hope of ever achieving even the smallest of my once great dreams.

I am a constant job hopper due to hoping that I will finally find a place where I won’t feel like an incompetent embarrassment. I am unreliable due to always being physically ill. I just want to be a reliable and competent employee with consistency but I have never been able to achieve this.

I share a house with an older sibling and accept that they are who they are but I feel like the maid who is treated however they feel depending on how they are feeling. Honestly I am also scared of them . I need cleanliness and organisation to thrive but they constantly mess up my efforts with zero care about the effect it has on me. Yet I am always expected to give way to and be conscientious of anything that may upset them. 
My home life greatly affects my physical and mental health but I can’t afford to live on my own unless I can hold down a job which I can’t seem to do due to my home life it’s a constant vicious circle.

I can’t keep existing like this but I also can see no way out. I feel like I have exhausted myself with trying and just feel like a waste of a life. 
I honestly hate myself for what I have done to my life.

Thanks, likewise. I really feel like I have woken up from distraction looking back I’ve been alone for a few years apart from weekly errands and going to the shops. I can’t believe how bad my situation became without even realising.. I’m slowly starting to find ways to regain some form of social life via making sure I’m actually doing something towards it rather than accepting being like this. But my hearts broken I guess. Anyway your right though about those little details that somehow manage to suffice for the time being. Music has played a major part in me keeping myself together atm as well as reaching out here… how are you doing? Your initial post resonated with me a lot. Hopefully you have been good to yourself
