Why am I struggling?

Why is everything becoming more difficult every day?

Why did I go from top of the class to bottom? Were all my previous successes all flukes? Have I always been this stupid?

Where is all my energy gone? Where is all my hope?

Is this the right path? Is it of my choice or have I been conditioned to pursue it?

Is there a role for me in this world? Am I just a side character in my own life?

Where can I find some guidance? Philosophy, Religion, Science, History?

Is there something wrong with me? Why haven't I been able to connect with people? Do I want to connect with people in the first place?

Isaiah 55:1-3 springs to mind: "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David."
