[quote=Anonymous]Just in general, as a state of being. I’m dissatisfied with my daughter’s school, with my job, my marriage, with our new house. I love my daughter and our dog. And maybe that’s it. What is this? Depression/anxiety? Just my personality? This dissatisfaction used to fuel me to strive for better things — to achieve more at work, to tackle infertility, to get out of unfulfilling relationships. But my life is probably objectively good (or good enough) and yet I find fault with everything. I don’t want to pass this worldview on to my child. I want her to be able to settle down and feel content. I am just never content.

Example: We bought a house just a few months ago. It’s ok. There are some maintenance issues we didn’t realize when we purchased it, and that’s making it more expensive than we bargained for, which is stressful to me. We were visiting a family member in another neighborhood last night and I just kept thinking, “we should have bought here. We made a mistake. Is it too late to sell and buy here? The parks are so much nicer and the people are so much friendlier here.” I just need to STOP. We are where we are.

I need to bloom where I’m planted. But I just can’t feel content. I want to change things, fix things. How do I start?[/quote]
