Does life get better than this??

[greenjeans87]

Am having a sort of 'crisis of faith' at the mo and was just wondering if this resonates with anyone who has gone through/is going through something similar...
I've kind of always felt that my head is broken up and this might be as good as life will get for me. I'm not sure I've ever been truly happy or ecstatically glad or giddy in love but I'm thinking that maybe I'm not capable of being those things. I just think all the time that if life really is this crappy then what really is the point??
People keep saying just stick with the therapy, the medications, positive thinking and things will get better but I'm in my late 20s and things are not getting better. Worse, if anything.

Has anyone been thru this and life has gotten better?? (even if it is the tiniest bit I'm clinging on to anything at the moment)
Or am I truly broken??

I just wanted to say I am exactly in this position after 6 years of therapy.

I've felt the same for a long time. Good luck to you two, I hope you manage to turn things around. we only live once

My sister found this article online

I think I might print it out and take it to the doctor sounds like this kinda thing

I'm not sure it goes away but I think it gets manageable to the point that it isn't hard it is routine. At least I hope so.
