The past month and a half has been very difficult with me. I've struggled dealing with ALOT of stress in the past few years of my life which I think is resulting in these terrible feelings I have towards myself now. I've moved several times, couldn't find a job...then finally things started happening for me: I get married, get a great job, move out, etc. and I feel like I can't enjoy any of it because I am so depressed and I dislike myself so much. It bothers me and I get obsessed because of the sheer fact that I CANNOT enjoy any of this -- and I should be. It becomes a never ending circle that I cannot get around. I spoke with a therapist about some of the obsessive thoughts ( I have a an extremely active imagination, I am a writer) I've had--since I am a Christian I am very hard on myself--she said I will be fine and I have been thru alot in the past few years & have not dealt w/ some of the stress and it's accumulating.
I have moments where I feel good...like I snap myself out of it. But they are temporary--I can't get it to stick.
Does anyone have experience with this or have any advice to offer me on how to feel better about myself and enjoy life with out using medication? Drugs are not an option for me. PS thank you if you've read this far!
