I also feel resentful to my family for making me go through this every day. My wife can't make as much as I do and we barely make ends meet as it is. Our rent will go up soon and as usual I work around people who own their houses, so I have to deal with the stupid "renting is a waste of money" thing. We can't move because my daughter has issues too and we can't have her change high schools now that she's doing well after just starting.
And my anger for other people kicks in sometimes. I'll spend today hating people because I have to be around them. The treatments say to accept these feelings and go about your life anyway knowing you're fulfilling the goal of supporting the family. I find it hard to just keep going. I shouldn't be a manager because I hate people. I hate politics at work but I hate doing work even more. I just hate doing things for other people.
This is not a normal thing for me, but today I feel it and wanted to just add it to the mix. I'm screwed up, but I should be thankful for what I have and I just can't. I don't have little things to keep me going. I hate talking to people at work. They act so productive and I hate productive acting people. I wish they were more honest about how much they hate these things too.

Hi akekaomen. I don't think you have to stay screwed up. I used to be like you, only, probably, handling it less well than you are handling it now. It's kind of a trap that I was in for a long time. I found a way out, though. I might sound like a broken record on this site, but I really think you should try this

Once you find a way to feel better inside, you may find yourself on an upward spiral. You will feel better, the things that your family and co-workers do will no longer torture you, your new feelings will get reflected back to you from your family and co-workers making you feel even better. It's a wonderful thing if you can get it started.
