My therapist tells me I've gotten better, but I keep complaining that I don't feel fundamentally less miserable. I can recognize that there used to be a different quality to my misery-- I felt more desperate, and compelled to do things that seemed to promise relief, but actually just created more problems. Now my unhappiness is less chaotic. Mostly I just endure it.
So I can recognize that this is progress of a sort, but I'm not convinced I really feel better. A different flavor of misery just doesn't feel like enough reward.
