Occasionally I would realize that I was wearing blinders, and that my flaws were more problematic than I had assumed. That in reality, my life truly sucked and I was in denial. I wasn't growing up and taking responsibility. My character wasn't developing as much as it should have.

It's part of my personality: apathetic, boring, unfunny, unstable, shy, nervous, weak.
I fail to wake the **** up and face reality. I'm stuck with an underdeveloped ego that isn't ready yet. The worst demotivator is knowing that there is no joy in life, no matter what I do. It makes me want to escape this hell by not waking up anymore.

A part of me has given up, but another part wants to be able to feel joy again. Please tell me I'm wrong and that this feeling is coming back again at some point.
Hi tz90,

I can confirm that you can feel good again!

Have a look at this thread and see if it's describing what you went through. There's some general advice in post #74 of the thread
