I'd say 80 percent of the time I hate my life and the various situations that go along with it. But, then, I feel guilty for feeling that way, because other people have it worse. This was a major part of why I never sought help from a professional before -- GUILT.
For example, while I'm miserable at my job, I feel lucky just to have one. So what if I'm treated like a chewed piece of gum on the bottom of your shoe? At least I have a paycheck coming in. There are so many other people who don't have that.
Many of them center around my job. But, they span a whole spectrum, and these examples could go on forever.
The other day I was complaining to a friend about being unhappy, and in not-so-many words they basically were like - dude, everyone is miserable. Get over it.
Yeah, that hurt, but it's also a major reason I never took feeling miserable seriously. It's normal not to be happy. Right? It's normal to not be in the spot in life you hoped for. Right?
I guess the answer is, it all really depends.
From what I'm learning, those feeling are normal, but not when they last for extended periods of time, effect your work, social life and well-being.
