I’ve been single for 8 years. I have no job and I lie that I do to friends who don’t like me. I moved to LA to pursue a career that ended up failing because the people took advantage of my work. My friends are horrible people that use me constantly, yet I have no other friends. I’ve gained weight, been losing my hair, still rely on my mother to help pay rent when i’m a (26M)

I feel like a failure. I’ve given my life to my career only to be stepped on and used. My mom, without thinking, moved us to the other side of the country (LA) to help my career when I told her that it was a horrible idea being that we had 0 connections and no reason to move. I actually personally believe to moved here for herself but that’s another story. 

I don’t know what to do with my life. I don’t want to give up my dreams but at this point there’s no use. I feel like a failure. And what’s even worse is my growing resentment and anger for the world for having relationships, friends, successful careers, when i’m literally in the worst time of my life and wanting to end it all. I don’t know if I should give up on my life or keep on moving.
