I feel worthless and good for nothing. I have no skills, no talent, and not anything. What should I do?

Years back, I felt worthless and had no purpose. I think it is because of past criticism that I didn't know how to handle it well. It affected my self-esteem and made me very sad. I compared myself to others which often made me feel bitter.

While going through that season, I am thankful to God that I have my husband as my trusted person. He is my best friend. I can talk to him anytime about anything and it helps me feel better. He encouraged me to focus on my strengths and not to compare myself with anyone. I also read articles to help me cope with negative feelings I had at that time.

I joined a women's group in my church. At first I was too shy to attend, eventually I enjoyed it and I made friends. A good support system is important especially when going through hard times.
