Why do you need to be forgiven?
What did you do that was so bad?
It sounds to me like you need to have more fun and more passion.
(just my opinion)
And, you need some income!

Do any of you have similar feelings?
What's the thought process you experience and how do you manage to wrestle it into something constructive?
Sometimes, I feel a little sad.
When that happens, I tell myself that I am lucky. Lucky to be a decent looking, American man born in San Francisco with my health and plenty of opportunity to have a great life.
I count my blessings and remind myself of all the advantages that I have.
Then, I go and do the things that I enjoy. And, I challenge myself to get better in my weak areas.
And, I immerse myself in my passions.
(sports, vitality, girls)
That's what works for me.
Also, I apologized to the people I have hurt, I have forgiven myself for being young and stupid, I loved myself the way I would love my own son.
I have studied the topic of forgiveness, I have read many articles and book chapters on the subject, I have talked to counselors and therapists.
I think the more you study it and discuss it, the easier it becomes.

I'm sleeping for ~11 hours a night from 1am to about noon.
Staying up til 1am and sleeping til noon?
Maybe, you should try to get to bed a little earlier?
Poor sleep can fuck up our mindset!

so much time pondering my actions.
Stop pondering and start doing!
Do something fun or constructive or both!

My main objective right now has to be to find sustainable work. Secure an income and get back a sense of purpose.
You know what you must do.

Get off your ass and take some action.
Get outside and get some exercise + talk to pretty girls.
You have been thinking for a long time.
It is time for some physical action!

I want to tell you one more thing..
Have patience.. Changing our life takes time..
One small step at a time, just keep going.
Ask for help when you need it. We all need it sometimes.
Stay positive and be good to yourself.
