Emme, I am so sorry you are feeling this discouraged.
I can relate to some of the things you mention, although perhaps I am not experienceing them as intensely at the moment.
This line you wrote caught my eye:>>It's pretty tough to sell yourself when you hate yourself, are incompetent, and nothing sounds appealing.
because just today, I was discussing this very topic with my therapist.
You are definitely under a lot of stress!! Money, job, lack of support, etc.
I can't exactly say why, but I do believe there is reason to hope. I do believe things can get better. I am stuck in a kind of rut myself, but in a much better place than I used to be. But I used to not beleive that anything could get better, but it did. I know hanging on through all the hard times is so hard, but I hope you will because you never know how and when new opportunities will come by and that moods can get better and that can change your whole perspective.
I know how mood disorders can wear us down. I hope that you'll find at least some of the support you need here at PB, so you can hang in there until you see more hope for yourself.
