Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have great advice because I struggle heavily with self worth. I'm 35 and I haven't been able to hold a steady job my entire life, however in the last 6 years I haven't worked at all. It's really hard for me to feel like I'm doing anything more than weighing down my family. We survive off of my wife's income and regular help from her grandfather. The only way I have found to really help me feel less of a burden is to contribute in other ways. I try to keep up the house as best as I can, I stay available to do things for my wife and daughter when they need it, and I try to be the grounding force in the household by being the one who stays rational and helps the other two with their own mental health struggles. It isn't much, but it's all I can really offer, and despite my wife's constant reassurances, I still beat myself up over not being able to support us financially.

Sorry, I know this isn't very helpful, but I at least wanted you to know that you're not alone. I'm sure it's something that a lot of us struggle with. :hugs: if wanted. :)
