sigh.....
I have a wife who loves me, a beautiful daughter from my previous wife who I see everyday, she's an honor roll student, 16 yo, I get along w her mom, etc. My wife will do anything for me. My health is great. I have insurance. Only problem is financial. The problem is me. I'm never content. I always compare myself to others. I job hop..resulting in economic stress. If I could just learn to love what I have and not always want something more/different, I think I would be so happy. I don't think I deserve happiness (what i'm getting for therapy, anyway) I'm too comfortable being sad, can't make decisions. IDK, i'm just venting everyone. Thanks for reading |

 My ex husband was the same way. He couldn't find peace in any job he had. He jumped jobs, even went back to college and got another major, but nothing could make him happy for very long. I don't know that he has ever found peace. He never thought he was the problem it was always someone else's fault. All this is to say, good for you for looking for answers and help. I'm glad you are in therapy. There is help, never give up.

I read a quote that stays with me and maybe will stay with you. "Comparison is the thief of joy." I'm guilty of doing it to. Just because I don't have a husband or children, doesn't mean my life is worth any less than my friends that do. Keep on keeping on.

Thanks for that conswell! I haven't heard that..but I love it. Its something my therapist points out all the time. I'm not even aware I do it many times....but with therapy I'm seeing it more and more and learning not to.
But still, some days.... |
