Do you have a best friend?

As Hapimeses told you now is the time to let your friends help you. Even your family can help you as well. What you can't do is to stay alone without no one to talk.

By the way, I stopped to work as a programmer as well and this year I started a PhD. So I can continue programming (what I love) without no one to treat me like ****

yeah i have friends an i have had this conversation out before i though it would be better to go for something simple after what happened, because i literraly lost who i was after i left my programming job (it sounds sad i know), i lost all my confidence and passion and basically even my love for programming has dwindled into nothingness, i really don't even understand it.

so far i have tried a training course which renewed my confidence in myself as a person, but alot of the things i used to be able to do are simply missing now, i just don't know where to start, and i dare not do my Bsc in computing, because honestly i feel like my skills are not good enough anymore

maybe i should see a psychiatrist lol, it's something i am sure i will not understand by myself

I see... So what are the things you really like to do? And what are the thinks you are good at?

I think you can find something simple and easy to do in order to improve your self-confidence.

For example, when I was a teenage a was feeling useless as well, so I decided to start a volunteer work in the weekends as a teacher of basic informatics (Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Internet...). I found a public school near to my home and helped some people to learn how to use a computer there. It improved my self-confidence a lot and after the classes I was feeling very useful.
