I've had this for so long, I can hardly remember when I didn't feel sad and lost (or even angry, in despair) upon waking. In my case, it's because I'm lost, in my life. I don't know what to do with myself.

In the past, when I had an acting career, I used to wake up excited -- "oh boy, I get to do a play tonight," or "oh boy, I get to go to a soundstage today!" Every day seemed to hold the possibility of something good that might happen (like getting an acting job for the next day). Now, I know that that was part of my youth. I'm too far down the road to have that faith or hope. I have no career, nothing to be excited about doing, and too much disappointment, failure and pain in my past to believe that things are magically going to turn around for me. You, however, could absolutely have good things on their way. If you have a husband, then that means that someone loves you. Someone stood up before an assembly of people and vowed before God to spend the rest of his life with you. However the marriage is going, you've had that (which is more than I've had). If being honored in that way can happen to you, other good things can.

I think the trick is giving yourself something to look forward to. Maybe a goal you're trying to reach, a job you love...whatever. It gives you something to wake up in the morning for.

Hang in there. ((hugs))
