[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No good advice OP, I'm just right there with you. I'm annoyed with myself for feeling so tired, bored, uninspired, just not happy overall. I hate my job, my relationship is difficult and it's hard having little kids. I try to tell myself it's just a chapter in my life and it'll get better eventually. I just try to take it one day at a time and recognize and appreciate a good day when I have one.[/quote]

Same, PP.  It just really helps to hear it.  In my case I have friends who have really terrible shit going on.  I try to remind myself that compared to them I have it really good and I've no real right to complain.  I actually kind of hate myself for feeling the way I do.  Compared to how I grew up, I have it golden.  And yet. . .here I am.  Ugh.  WTF is wrong with me?[/quote]

PP here. I think the same things, except I don't know how much better we have it than I did growing up -- some things are better, some things are not. But something that's helping me today is "finding joy" in a couple little things and really trying to relish them. It sounds dumb, but I just had a really good sandwich for lunch that made my whole day better. I'm pregnant and food has not been good lately, but this sandwich was really good. It brightened my mood. I also had a really good weekend because my live-in MIL is out of town. I didn't do a single thing differently than any other weekend, just laid around the house a lot because I feel like garbage, hung out with my toddler, cooked and did a little house work. But I spent really good time with my little nuclear family and I feel a certain sense of peacefulness because there's just this huge tension that lifted with MIL being gone. Freaking glorious. I'm still "finding joy" in her absence today and plan to for the duration of her trip. All about the little victories.[/quote]
