Hi kara lynne
I'm sorry you're feeling so low right now. And I'm sorry I'm so overwhelmed and can't think of anything witty to cheer you. :-( But you are not alone, and your existence is anything but pointless, please believe that. Being an overachiever myself, I walked around for years feeling like an imposter in my own life, scared witless and wondering how everyone around me could walk around like they knew what they were doing. I wondered what secret they knew that I wasn't in on. Until one day I realized there *was* no secret, most of the rest of the world just didn't overanalyze like I do -- in other words, they just hadn't realized they didn't know what was going on, so weren't bothered!! It didn't make me feel better but it made me feel not so disadvantaged. I still felt overwhelmed but at least on a level playing field, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I think you're a really smart and sweet person . . . with a lot to contribute, whatever you choose that to be. Let us know how it's going, OK?
I'll say a prayer for you tonight . . .
