Lemmings of Loserdom (this is sff_corgi's fault)

Remember a couple weeks ago when I posted asking for a do-over?

I'm not alone:

If you're maybe noticing that you're older than you used to be, and are feeling sad / angry / confused / worried / frustrated that you haven't accomplished as much as you/other people in your present or past / annoyingly critical voices inside your head think you should have, and if you're maybe feeling something like "I'm not a real grownup like everyone else," and if you're maybe also feeling sad / angry / confused / worried / frustrated that your body isn't working the way it used to, and you're maybe thinking, "if that's true then how am I going to DO all those accomplishments that I / other people / voices in my head think I ought or want to do?", and maybe you're also wondering how are you going to dig out from under the accumulation of habit and procrastination and self-doubt to some sense of satisfaction in your life again, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Feeling that one a little too much this morning. I'm sure it'll pass, but slumps suck.

Oddly, I'm not really feeling it keenly today, but it is sort of a vague discontent that is somewhat constant.... Just a feeling that I've made some poor decisions and wasted a LOT of time in my life.
