Hi.
"I want to pull myself up by my bootstraps and live a life full of joy. I think I am just too sensitive for this world. Something Morgan posted last week is really ringing true for me. It was about how psychologically we stay in the cycle of unhappiness and depression because we are too afraid for the ups and downs or occasional failures that a fully engaged life will bring us"
It's too bad that you have become so entrenched in this way of thinking. It is nihilistic, in my opinion, and places upon you the shackles of false guilt and perceived failure. To follow this line of reasoning will surely leave you wallowing in the mire of resigning oneself to believe that, "Maybe this is as good as it gets".
Don't guess. Seek out professional help before giving up.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
