and you're on your couch, tossing and turning and you'd give anything to feel better? well, that's my life. Monday and Tuesday at work, I would have given anything to be home. today, I stayed home from work with a migraine and now I wished I hadn't. I'm not happy at work, I'm not happy when I'm home. I toss and turn through my life, not happy with anything.

I'd give anything to be like a "normal" person who goes to a job or stays home with their kids and just be content with what they have. yes, I know normal people aren't happy all the time, but they seem at least satisfied with their lives and being alive. I question why I'm here and what I'm doing with my so called life. what keeps any of you going when you're not seeing the point in doing anything?

if I had a husband and/or child(ren), I would have built-in reasons to get up in the morning and at least have someone to love. alas, I do not.

How long have you been in therapy? If it hasn't been very long, please give it time. If it's been awhile, it's not doing you much good, and you may want to consider finding another therapist! Sometimes the therapist we're seeing isn't the right one! I've had to switch therapist before -- the one I was seeing didn't give me ANY feedback, or guidance! All he did was say "uh-huh." That did me NO good at all. LOL

Also, after I'd been in therapy for quite some time, my therapist sent me to my doctor because he thought that I needed help besides just therapy -- such as medication. So my doctor put me on an antidepressant, and I've been on one every since. That made a world of difference for me. I never knew what "normal" felt like until then, because I'd been depressed since I was a child. Now it's the difference between night & day! WOW.

So don't give up. Be patient if you're new in thereapy. I wish you the very best. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
