How can I have both extremely high, AND low self-esteem?Over time, I had a period of my life which seemed like non-stop, unrelenting bad situations piling up one after another.

I hear this from single people, celebrities and single executives.
You need a mate, mate:)

Well the good news is that you're working and able to provide a home.
Work is control and a war that you win at and are respected.
Home is a retreat which you claim you suck at.
Home or place to rest and recharge where you are safe and comfortable.
If you are not safe, loved or comfortable, make a work decision. Change it.
Kind in mind that some people function well with a small studio apartment which give them only the basics.

I have a friend that's only home about 50 days a year, sucks but we make do.

After my flu I was hoping to be helping others more, but it looks like I'm the one in need of help yet again.

You would think depression is easy to diagnose but it is not. That should come from a qualified medical professional after exhausting all other possibilities.

My personal opinion is you are spreading yourself too thin with keeping 3 employers happy.

Exactly:)
I know that jobs don't grow on trees but neither do employees.

As I continue to improve myself I am losing interest in people caught up in the matrix.Same old way of thinking.

I understand that I may being venting. I have this personal issue of trying to understand that with today's fantastic advancement of tools, technology and advancement of rights people seem...more stupid. I'm told it's the same we just know about it easier where before this information was only communicated in person.

Yes. I see people today completely lack or void of empathy. This worries me. Grown children not caring for their parents even during illness and death.

One of my close friends won a new career with a real crappy boss and believed he could change the world. He's sick now and at home. Some of the tasks you take on my friend are similar. I met with a legendary CBC friend yesterday and discussed current affairs with the CBC. He's retiring as the issues are bigger then he can help with. His direction is to help as a mentor and free lance journalist when "allowed". He is reconstructing his life to meet his needs and ability. I do this often. You too need to revisit this after a bit of a break. It being winter may be a challenge because it costs more to get away or play. I find that measuring up the the bar isn't the problem, it's lowering our expectations to the understanding that some people we serve want too much and will take it if you let them. Step up and say "No thank you".

Charity starts at home:)

Interesting:) There is right and wrong. Self-esteem is important and leading by example although hard is a step in the right direction. Mom and Dad did have ***sex but it doesn't mean the children should be exposed to this. Some drugs make you feel better but not as good as a reward you've earned from your own labour. The site is slow and some members twist off but it's a free site and some try to be true.

FB can be a tool to share photos with relatives far way or lure people to a false idea. If they're luring to take advantage of..,questionable and maybe criminal. If they're attempting to provide a template as the better way to live or feel, no harm.
Poking fun sometimes is not cool and lashing out useless. It's a place to vent the has no real discipline if you twist off. It's free and has some good people donating their time for free. I have learned to be careful here understanding some members will behave inappropriately (they stand out usually), but a report will resolve it most times.

What I've learned over the years is that most regular members wish people well and they give what they can. Some members here need a place to vent and struggle with trying to re-invent the wheel and always will.
Sometimes my wording isn't right like the phrase; "old way". Maybe a better phrase would be "structured or fundamental ways". Like lunch should be at 12.00 not 3.00 because it's healthy. This not an "old way" but a good way because the new way doesn't work for everybody.

Over all the years I've helped I've never been reported, but I've been attacked several times:)
