>No one seems to get it. Life is not enough! What is in it is not enough! Children, grandchildren are not enough. I think that happiness is an illusion. It is putting that carrot in front of your nose and dangling it there and never can you get a nibble. To force myself to enjoy something is the problem. It should not be hard to enjoy something. Like I said, if I even try to enjoy something, something happens to make me pay.
And I am on Celexa. It sure isn't helping me!
Thanks for trying!
