To the original poster: your post describes me also except for the stepfather and the family hassles. Clearly you share my melancholic temperment. You must maintain your prayer life and continually tell yourself that God loves you or you will collapse into your own world of self-condemnation and despair. If it helps I am going through this too.

Just remember, that when you sign up in Our Lord's army, He takes WAY better care of you than any earthly government :)

You will be rewarded for every suffering you bear for love of Him.

I'll keep (both of) you in my prayers,

Matthew

Welcome to the forum, student! You are in my prayers too. :) Thank you for the advice. I am indeed a melancholic pretty much. I have some of the phlegmatic temperament too I think. As a matter of fact, just yesterday on the same day I think you posted here, I was reading in The Four Temperaments by Rev. Conrad Hock some advice similar to what you gave in the thread here to me concerning the melancholic temperament.

I need packages of prayers! I am a total wreck. I am not very responsible. This internet, and computer for that matter, have become too addicting to me, and I have been trying to get away little by little. I also have a hard time seeing myself do as well as anyone, hence another reason why I have been getting behind in all of my classes besides the internet addiction. I have a really really hard time focusing on anything now. I used to do better in high school years ago, but somehow I lost my sense of focus. I have impatience inside of me in just doing anything, like even praying the Rosary, for I get overly scrupulous. I do not do something if I know I cannot do it perfectly or if I know I will make a big mistake. I get very discouraged easily. P.S. I am also having some automobile and medical insurance difficulties as well.

Everything here describes me perfectly. I was a star in high school and college but now am hitting some really tough times academically and it's caused me to note my age and how I really haven't achieved anything despite my overwhelming success during youth. This has been a major source of despair.

I also have an internet addiction because Catholic sites like this one I find more enjoyable than my studies.

I have auto insurance difficulties too--as in surcharges b/c too many tickets (some of which I got while driving long distances on Sunday morning for the TLM.)

You have health insurance? Be grateful.
