I don't know if what I have to say will give any comfort, but I do believe it is true. The fact is, you moved to a country that is profoundly stupid in a lot of ways. We have prosperity and nice mountains and all, and some creative people, but at heart the culture of America today is profoundly sick and stupid. Maybe the reason your experiences in high school and community college make you feel worthless is that these places nurture and perpetuate a stupid and worthless view of life. I mean, why should we care so goddamn much about career, work, achievement? Why can't we live more simply, with less anxiety, self-importance, self-loathing, and more joie de vivre (sorry, that's French)? Point is, you are a real person with intrinsic value, and the society you live in just one huge commercial for its own depraved agenda. It's not you that's worthless, it's the world you live in.
Okay, maybe that's hard to swallow if you find yourself forced to kiss people's asses in this society just to get on your feet and find a way to survive, but there are other ways to live, and other circles to move in. Bottom line: I think your circumstances are the cause of your depression, and you should stop beating up on yourself and fight to live the kind of life you can enjoy.
Thank you sir, we moved to usa expecting that we found the American dream and true FREEDOM of speech, i love this country, were i use to live was a little community were we could trust each other backs and in some way i was expecting the same from this wonderful country but i was mistaken, not to generalized everyone in this country but most of the kids that i meet in high school were backstabbers and were always putting me down and i cant tell u how many times i went to the men bathroom to cry a bit it was a horrible experience, i felt soo helpless i just want to hurt them but i could not its just not in my nature to do so, no matter how much someone kicks me i just cant hurt them back iam weak and sensible and that part of me is the one that i hate the most, but do no mistaken, i had meet wonderful people but i could not befriend them because iam afraid that they might hurt me. Thankyou soo much :)
