It helps me to not bash myself. When I make a stupid mistake, there's an automatic "voice" (not an actual voice, more a thought process) telling me that I'm stupid or what I just did was stupid. I'm learning to counter that, replacing "stupid" for "human" helps me. We all make mistakes, even very smart, intelligent people. We're all just human beings, and human beings of all stripes make stupid mistakes everyday. Forcing myself to remember that no one gets everything right all the time helps.

It's my fault really I'm doing the same thing for money I've done since I was 16 and it isn't legal work so my job history is 0.. Now I can't get an actual job and the family I live with are facing a large amount of debt. There will also be nobody to take care of our special ed family member and she's not capable doing anything. I pay for food and help with minor shit but I can't help this household with a 30k debt.I don't have any suggestions, other than to offer you my empathy. Venting is good, and this sounds like a very stressful situation. The "minor shit" contributions you are making to help your family really isn't so "minor." It's doing the best you can with what you've got to work with.
I was supposed to enroll into college for 2013, but our grandparents are dying and the house is underwater, there is a special person to take care of and my aunt is inheriting the house I lived in for the last 2 years and I feel obligated to help. I just don't know what to do and there is no more family to help or would be willing to help.
