You are allowed to believe you can succeed. You are required to acknowledge God as the source. You are not required to crush yourself to avoid pride. Healthy confidence is a Catholic virtue, not a temptation. Though Catholics often fuck this up lol

Thank you. I do acknowledge GOD is source, HE ultimately decides if I win or fail. Personally I'm just battling with extreme depression or extreme I can do anything no matter what. I am sick of feeling down, but I don't want to disrespect GOD or give in to temptation in order to feel better. We're called to endure to the end, so maybe that just means life sucks the whole time? Idk. I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me though
I grew up catholic and I’ve been in a similar position before so I get it. For me the depression came from not being my authentic self. Sort of playing a character I felt I had to play to appease the world. Once I stopped doing that and started being more truthful things improved significantly.
I think I try to not be my authentic self because the authentic me is a piece of shit bad person. Thank you though.
And also, how do I know what GOD wants or is calling me to do with my life? Maybe I'm resisting him and that's why it's so hard, or maybe I'm weak and that's just how hard life is
