Life suddenly sucks

Haven't been here for a while again, but I found my way back.

Divorce is scheduled for trial in January. Trying to settle prior to having to do that. Been separated and filed since April.

For the first few months I had my head on pretty straight. Now...I don't know. I'm just lost. I've been making poor choices, have lost my zest for life, and am worried I'm slipping into depression. I don't even feel like I know who I am anymore. If I'm not sad, I'm mad. If I'm neither of those I'm numb. I've changed and I hate who I am. I don't want to be this person but I don't even remember the person I used to be. Where and how do you get the motivation to kick yourself in the a$$ and wake up?

This may sound a little direct, but it's not surprising you're back.

You're way too smart to settle for bull****ting yourself.

You want real. You want true happiness.

It's not possible unless you confront you - first and foremost.



I don't think happiness is even realistic. It's something you're brain washed into believing exists so that you're constantly striving for something you'll never really attain. What is happiness? I don't even know what that would look like.

I'm tired. Really, really tired.

You're talking to happiness. Once you hit the right chord, you simply reach out and claim it.

Of course you're tired.

It's quite difficult to own the responses of others. It's completely exhausting.

I'm sure. I encountered 3-4 and was not impressed. I got so tired of having to repeat my story.

Not so ready to search out new counselors because of this.

Frustrated...

I'll just get by myself...

Hey, SVL. ...

happiness.
Have you ever read the book "the happiness hypothesis"? It is a very interesting book, and gets you thinking about what it takes to be "happy".

I would recommend taking a look at it.
