I can identify with that, and I'm sorry you feel that way.

GypsyButterfly wrote, "figure out what things you can do to give yourself a boost each day, if just for a little while." I would alter that slightly to read, "figure out what things you can do for someone else, if just for a little while." It's based on the Dalai Lama's saying that "the path to happiness is through service to others." (paraphrased).

A great many people and organizations need help. Maybe someone's need lines up with something you enjoy?
