I have much to be thankful for |
So why do I still feel so miserable? You know... I'm beginning to suspect
that there may be something wrong with me.

Cinical Depression. At least there's a name for it. I'm thankful for
that.

Was that "cynical depression" or "clinical depression?"
Seriously, Indigo, I assume yours is a rhetorical question,
considering where you posted it. If not, let us know.

This could be the start of something big. (I don't do New Age, but
self-realisation seems like a Good Idea to me.)

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

depression and having everything external be perfect are not mutually
exclusive.

To be sure. Things are going so well that I am feeling guilty about not
being happy, which means yet another thing for me to feel bad about. It
seems to be an endless vicious cycle.

Long ago I discovered that I unconsciously screw up something external just
to have a reason why to be miserable. For me, there is nothing better than
camouflage.

It's the same as how you can grieve over a change that you *sought*.
For example, you decide to finally leave a job that you've been with
for 10 years, to pursue other interests or more money or something,
but then you get choked up on your last day. You're both looking
forward to the new situation, but grieving the loss of the last one.
It's the same kind of phenomenon here. You can be depressed and yet
appreciate your blessings, all at the same time.
Oh to be like a dog... and be very simple in our emotions.
But we're not. We're complex contradictory humans, dangit.

why do you still feel miserable? probably because you simply want more. and
perhaps dont know how to get it. and feel trapped. so of course you will be
miserable.
i once read 'freedom from desire is liberation'
