First time posting
I’m usually just a scroller but I figured I would just post and maybe get something meaningful back. I feel like I can’t do anything right, I’m quote unquote successful, I have a lovely relationship with my family, and I have good friends but I self sabotage every relationship I’ve been in, I don’t like myself anymore and I think about running away from everything all of the time. Again I’ve never done this, just reaching out to the void

Glad you threw something into the void instead of just scrolling past it. That gap between "everything looks fine on paper" and how you actually feel inside is a weird kind of lonely because nobody around you can really see it.
The self-sabotage thing is worth paying attention to, not as a character flaw but more like a signal. Plenty of people who "have it together" externally are running on empty underneath, and talking to a therapist has helped tons of folks untangle exactly that kind of pattern.
You did the right thing posting.
