In reply to the discussion: I don't really know how to articulate this post... [View all]Myrina
(12,296 posts)37. I think you read my mind ... thank you.
I have been in the same situation, for several years, as you describe. Been through therapy, anti-depressants, navel gazing, job changes, new hobbies, new friends, you name it.
Nothing has helped.
I think some of us are not meant to have 'happy lives'. Some of us are here to bear witness to all of the deplorable shit humans are capable of, and the most sensitive among us often cannot bear it.
I see so much wrong, hate, evil, carelessness, abuse, and just plain meanness on a daily basis that my entire being hurts. I don't want to see any more. I don't want to be part of it anymore. I wish the lesson were over.

Count your blessings. Have faith in God. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It works
