TITLE: I am 23, no qualifications, 6k loans, living at home. I am trying to start life over again. How do I get over the past?
POST: I got rejected from jobs and certain dates. I worked worthless jobs. I never really had a gf. I wasn't always negative, but things started to pile up and my reluctance to see the psychiatrist about past sexual abuse problems and other things. I changed my major twice and ended up wasting my life. I wasn't even having fun at all. I fell into depression for 1.5 year. I didn't seek help for my problems. Now I am 23 and attempting to start life again. But my goddamn past keeps haunting me, I see myself being surpassed by my peers. My family is poor and I will end up living poorly for 4 years doing law school.
TL;DR: 
My life was messed up to this point, how can leave the haunting past behind and look forward? With pretty much nothing to start with?
