Not sure how to address this, but I'll try. I'm not new here, but I haven't been posting a lot.

I spend most of my days feeling like a failure to some degree, either personally or professionally. I can't really take a compliment because it always sounds so back-handed. I am always feeding myself negative thoughts in my head, but they don't always overtake me, but when they do, it hurts. It's like all the negative in the world around me just attaches itself to me like a magnet amd drags me down with it.

The best way I can describe this is that I have happy days (graduation, wedding) but I am not happy. I don't enjoy life. I live it, but don't enjoy it.

During recent therapy sessions, dysthymia was brought up and am wondering if there is anyone who sees themselves in my issues and if that's what I might be dealing with. My psychiatrist prescribed me a low dose of wellbutrin, but I'm just not sure that it's going to help. I just want to know what I'm dealing with so I can better understand it and treat it.

Thank you, all.
