How to stay motivated in the face of repeated failures?

1. You were doing well this past spring. Go

over that time in your life. What was different then? You could stop and smell the roses. Even if there was some weight gain on certain meds isn't it better to try life that way, get a little success under your belt and then you'll have perspective. Join an assertiveness class, meet a potential partner who is as soft as you, compare notes on how hard it is to be so sensitive, laugh at the antics of the extroverts in your lives, realize that you are on one long journey that pays off the older you get, and then you can worry about weight gain and meds the next year. We care for you and want you to be happy. And not so hard on yourself. There is nothing wrong with working at a store. I've done that too and am quite proud at how hard I used to work. You should be proud too.
