You can always see a psychiatrist about your problems. It may seem like you are good at nothing, but everyone is. Just keep searching and you will find it. I too have been having trouble deciding what to do (college freshman). Right now i'm actually trying out programming (small world). Either way, just keep looking.  You will find what else you are good at. Oh, and why did you quit programming? 

because my work treated all the workers like **** basically i had enough after two years, basically it was all dog eat dog and it really turned me into the most miserable person ever, at least now i am happier just less focused lol.

anyway thanks

That's why I changed my major from digital effects and animation to something I currently work for (a daycare, so I chose early childhood education). I know that I don't make much money, but working with people (especially children) is very rewarding in the end. There were days when I was in the digital effects and animation class and I felt like I went through hell. Then I went to work at the daycare and seeing some of my favorite children there helped me feel better. One day I was so upset at what we were doing in class that I packed up my stuff for the day at my desk and went straight to work to try and work early. Later that night, I held this one young girl who was sleepy and she fell asleep in my arms. I felt more joy and love by working with people than I did with machinary. I didn't want to spend all my life tinkering behind a computer monitor when I could be out helping people and making a difference in their lives.

Plus my girlfriend loves it that I work with children, and everyone I've worked with there (and my friends) have told me that I will be a loving and wonderful father. I'm just glad that I changed my major because I didn't want to be miserable.

I suggest that you try to do something relaxing, Jneul. Why not go to the beach or on a trip for some alone time? Relax while you're doing that I'm sure you will feel much better. It's not your fault that you are feeling frustrated with your life and work. Life is stressful, but there is always going to be friends and family that can make you feel happy.
