I'm not sure why I'm here. Failure seems to be my only option

You can pray to win the lottery, but unless you buy the ticket...5

@MsCamysia - I've had your OP on the mind when browsing...I do hope you come back and get involved and get started. People here have been through everything and anything you could imagine and can offer excellent, and very realistic support.
Let them please.2 -
Hi MsCamysia,
I'm not really spiritual, but this last year or so I've felt I was given a second chance. To witness life from a healthy perspective. Words cannot describe how grateful I am. Anyway, it has been a significant force and I can only imagine a belief in god could equally be a force that guides you.
I wish you success in your adventures, MsCamysia! May you find what you seek

I'm a big believer in God helping those who help themselves. Prayer is great, but you also have to look within yourself for strength and change.
Find a WHY. Why are you doing this. What is your goal? Make it clear and concrete and measurable. How are you going to accomplish that. Be specific. Now write all that down- people are much more apt to achieve goals and be successful if they write down their goals. I know that sounds like self help nonsense but it works.
Know success isn't a straight line and you will make mistakes. That's okay. The only real failure is giving up. Your journey will not look like anyone else's, and that's good. It's YOUR'S. Have a positive mindset and see what you can do. You've got this.6 -
Take it one day at a time. One thing at a time celebrate the little victories. Heb 12:1-2 and Job 5:8-10 keep me going. And good music helps. Find a fight song. For me it's Steady Heart by Steffany Gretzinger Never let love fade away by New Birth and You have my surrender by Lauren Diagle. Hang in there.1

Read Paul's words about running the race. As a fine creation of God's (and God does not make mistakes) you have all the tools at your disposal to honour the temple of your own body.
You'll have to do something different this time though. Marinating in despair is surely counterproductive.1 -
I would encourage you to go and speak to someone. I am not sure, but it sounds like there may be some depression going on. This could be situational, seasonal, hereditary or a combination. I feel that one of the major red flags is how difficult it is to even get out of bed, it is almost painful.... Even if it is not the case, I would encourage you to talk to someone, but one thing is for sure, sometimes you have to dig deep for that motivation, especially if you are always the motivator without being motivated yourself.... Praying for you!2

Just do it!
