[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re in your 40s? When are you going to decide to love your life and take responsibility for your own happiness? It’s time to stop blaming your parents. If you need to take antidepressants and get more therapy, do that. But stop wallowing.

This isn’t a dress rehearsal. You didn’t pose a question, so I’ll pose one for you: Do you really want to spend the rest of your life depressed about this? If no, then make a decision to embrace who YOU are and all the gifts YOU have.

Good luck to you. [/quote]

I've been on antidepressants and in therapy my entire adult life. And I certainly don't want to spend the rest of my life depressed about this-I work really hard on a daily basis to combat the depression. But nothing changes-the negative voice is still there regardless of what I do. And while I don't blame my parents for my unhappiness all of the comparing and criticism has not helped. I shouldn't have posted on here. I don't know what I was looking for. Maybe I was looking for someone in a similar situation who figured out a way to get beyond this?

It is really hard to embrace who I am when I feel as though I have made so many mistakes and am so inherently flawed. Regardless, there is nobody external that will "fix" this for me-I have to figure out a way out if there is one. [/quote]
