Please don't, it's absolutely possible to turn things around and live a wonderful and happy life. I can tell you this from personal experience.

I've spent the past few years searching for ways of overcoming emotional and personality disorders in myself. Looking back, it's pretty clear that there were significant symptoms of narcissistic/borderline/histrionic personality disorders, that had devastating effects on my relationships and my career.

I've worked on myself daily for the past few years to understand and overcome these traits. In the past 1-2 years I've come out of the tunnel and am now living a very different life, with a thriving career, a wonderful home, dramatically improving relationships with my friends and family, a great relationship with a wonderful, caring partner, and every reason to be optimistic about the future.

Just 3 years ago I was like you, thinking it was all futile and questioning whether it was worthwhile to carry on.

Please get in touch. It's hard to find good advice and support but I think my experiences and learnings could be valuable to you.

Please, you are valued and loved, and there is hope.
