  • Becoming more financially secure.
  • Access to better health insurance/care for meds and/or treatment.
  • More support from family & friends.
  • Securing a stable relationship with the desired life partner.
  • Having a job that you're happy with.
  • An environmental change. A new home, a move to another location, etc.
  • Having or not having children in your life.
  • Becoming more spiritual, focused, centered or balanced.
  • Other. Please feel free to share.

Jan,


I have to say that I don't think that any of those would cure me.


I have most of those things and I am happy.


The only one that I am longing for is


  • An environmental change. A new home, a move to another location, etc.

  • We are in a 3 bedroom with 5 people but we

    I think I will always be anxious about something. I wish my life could be different, like no budget worries or that I could find the man of my dreams, but whatever caused this horrible stuff in the first place will always be around. Feeling kind of hopeless tonight. The holidays always bring me down.

    I chose becoming more spiritual and balanced. Since encountering all these problems I found a great church and have found my faith and that really gets me through.

    I was going to select 'other' because I really think the one thing that would cure me of anxiety is if I could have every medical test known to man out there to prove to me that I am okay and that there is nothing physically wrong with me. Since my anxiety is based around my health fears I know that would work. But for now I just have to take my doctor's word for it. Somehow it's just not enough though.

    How about a slew of those things? I just feel like my life is so screwed up, and I'm only 26. And I don't know how to fix my life, and I worry that things will never get better. I can't even be happy for other people when good things happen to them because in the back of my mind I'm jealous and thinking that nothing good like that will ever happen to me.


    But these would help:


    --Becoming more physically attractive


    --Becoming more financially secure


    --Stable relationship with a life partner


    --Environmental change


    Luckily, I'm in a job with excellent health insurance. That's really the only thing that is keeping me in this job. But I do get frustrated because I'm overqualified for it and I'm tired of being a flunkie.

    I truly believe that if I had a solid support group of friends, and a supportive husband, I might not be so damn insecure.
