> > >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.

It seems to me that you are wallowing in a lot of self pity. I'm not trying to say I'm perfect or anything, far from it. The point of what you wrote is incorrect, though. Enjoyment IS something you have to work for. It's not going to be thrown in your lap. Especially if you are unfortunate enough to be suffering from emotional illness. I've come to learn that the only way to achieve happiness & enjoyment in life is to go out & take it. Best of luck.
