I really can't say that I am unhappy with the way that things have been going for me lately. Am I happy? No, not really. More like I have grown used to what to expect in my every day life, grown accustomed to it. I've become content with the fact that I have not been what the typical person would consider truly "happy" for the past several years.
Content or Only Fooling Myself?
My days usually consist of me waking up around 10:30-11:30 in the morning, skipping breakfast, heading straight for my work out. After my work out is out of the way for the day, I usually take a shower and take care of my chores that I have to do around the house that day. My boyfriend is a Junior in college, I am unemployed. Putting me at home, alone, for about 6-7 hours a day.
You could pretty much say that my social life is non-existent outside of my relationship. A lot of that has to do with the fact that I just moved here last year and without a job or a car of my own, I really am not given an opportunity to go out and meet anyone new. However, even provided that opportunity.. I cannot say that I would really take full advantage. I live in constant fear of being judged. Judged by complete strangers, my friends, my family. Inside, I know that I am my own worst critic. I know that these negative thoughts are placed in my head by me and me alone. I am in a sense a bully to myself. Thinking myself incapable, undeserving and undesirable in any aspect. I have a hard time opening myself up to new people and therefore making new friends is virtually impossible.
I guess you could say, that's why I am here. I hope to connect with other people that are maybe going through similar situations. I hope to be there for others here that need it, to give advice or a shoulder to lean on. Maybe even to create a couple of friendships. Who knows, 🙂

yep that is why i am going to counseling to learn to quit beating myself up, the negative thoughts were what got me into the terrible depression pit i fell in to. i thought i was doing better this week but still find myself paralyzed by doing regular daily chores. i work best under crisis situations.
content is a good thing. being happy is just a temporary state, no one is happy all the time, i am hoping to become content with my life again, sounds like you are content in your living situation but not content in being with yourself
I hear you. DT is an oasis of understanding and empathy. Welcome. Aswa
