We all have our strengths and weaknesses Thrill. There are a lot of things I'm incompetent about, but some things I can do ok. Is there something in particular that is bothering you ?

Not only was I not a functioning alcoholic, but I'm a non-functional sober person.

I'm crazy and I can't hold a job and I don't know what job I want.

In what way are you crazy ? What causes you to not be able to do this particular job you're doing ?

An antisocial and hypochondriac basehead that obsesses about weather and other things to the point where it's crippling. I'm not sure why I was born.

Well, I understand the antisocial bit. Does your job involve socialising ? A job where you can just get on with things on your own would be best for you I expect.
I often look up weather on the internet - most days and several times besides looking out of the window - also sunrise and sunset times and times of civil, nautical and astronomical twilight. I keep those times on my tablet for easy access and I have them for my own town in particular as well as daylight hours clocks etc. I'm tempted to draw some graphs for at a glance appreciation of all these things but never get around to it. But I do it for extra enjoyment in life

I know Hypochondria can be a problem, my husband is a hypochondriac and knows it but can't stop being that way. I wouldn't call him crazy though. So I can't really comment on that and I do think that being a drinker or ex drinker can make it worse - I can be a hypochondriac sometimes but I think it's because of all the drinking I've done and the worry that it's seen as my own fault aswell - I mean dying is bad enough but dying with medical staff looking at you with disgust and hatred at what they think you are is even worse.

Of course if you're obsessing over things and you find it crippling - could you see a doctor about it ? I'm sure there are treatments to help ease OCD

I think you're being very hard on yourself.
It takes all kinds of people to make up a society

Oh and I don't get the question of why were you born, I mean none of us knows that but does it really matter, I mean once we're here might as well try and get some enjoyment out of it. Lifes short enough.

I'm a day away from a PB. That's about the only thing I'm doing right though.
