Never happy

[2sara1]

I am constantly looking for things that make me happy. I am never happy in my job, I am always looking for something else or wanting to leave or complaining about it constantly. Why am I never content? Why can’t I ever relax somewhere and just be happy. Is it because I haven’t found inner happiness? 😔 right now I feel like the only thing that will make me happy is not being at work and just being at home all the time...Watching tv and having nothing to worry about. Why am I like this?!

There isn’t anything wrong with you. Most of us feel like happiness is just outside of whatever we’re doing, or wherever we’re at. The grass being greener on the otherside, so to speak. My suggestion would be to stop putting so much pressure on yourself as to what happiness is. Happiness is in you wherever you are. Stop pressuring yourself to feel happiness, and just be. Once you stop looking so hard for it, it’ll find you, because like I said it is already in you. *hugs*

It’s ruining my life. I was in a job before for over 10 years and never thought about leaving. Now every job I have the anxiety becomes too much and I feel the need to flee otherwise I might get sacked first. I’ve lost all hope of happiness. I wake up in the morning dreading the day, I don’t go anywhere. I haven’t been on holiday for over 4 years. I can’t bare the thought of having sex with my fantastic boyfriend. I can barely be bothered to shower and I don’t care about how I look. I just can’t help but wonder what’s happened to me?!

Hi friend, it's possible that you haven't found inner happiness. I know that if you're genuinely happy about yourself, you can find happiness in other things and even people. Are you lonely? Perhaps, you can find support from a local church or community of people that would support you. I am sorry that you feel like this. I will pray for God to give you joy!

Happiness is not the goal. No one is happy all the time.
