It&amp;#39;s been quite a process.&lt;br /&gt;I recently discovered that I&amp;#39;ve been blaming my chronic unhappiness on anything/anyone other than myself.  Mostly my boyfriend.  &lt;br /&gt;I always needed more, wanted more from him, but now that he&amp;#39;s given me everything (and I&amp;#39;ve nearly lost my friends and family because of my complaining) I feel like I don&amp;#39;t love him.  All this time I blamed him thinking &amp;quot;he doesn&amp;#39;t love me enough&amp;quot; and now that he does, I don&amp;#39;t want him?!&lt;br /&gt;I feel like I&amp;#39;m going crazy.&lt;br /&gt;Over the last several months I have made a lot of paradigm shifts and it&amp;#39;s not easy.  the fog lifted from my brain and i didn&amp;#39;t like what i saw.  then i started to sort through my life trying to figure out what was wrong. I started vitamins, exercising, yoga, a bit of couples therapy.  For a while there everything seemed so clear I even thought I was experiencing a level of enlightenment  (thanks to yoga, exercise = serotonin).  I felt like I was seriously in touch with the universal energy.  I felt happy and confident and peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;then my boyfriend came back from a trip and I tried sharing all my new discoveries, tried changing bad habits we had, but i could not carry over that feeling i thought I captured - joy, peace, contentment, purpose. Still not happy!&lt;br /&gt;Did I find joy because he was away?&lt;br /&gt;did i return to my chronic unhappiness when he returned so i could blame it on him?&lt;br /&gt;what is wrong with me?&lt;br /&gt;I feel like I am going crazy&lt;br /&gt;why aren&amp;#39;t I happy with my boyfriend even though he&amp;#39;s great?&lt;br /&gt;will i leave him only to find that it really had nothing to do with him?&lt;br /&gt;lost right now</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2062118583758559015/2386204491616050416/comments/default/2915168022854248793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2062118583758559015/2386204491616050416/comments/default/2915168022854248793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.synthetichappiness.com/2007/10/why-am-i-unhappy.html?showComment=1249972992843#c2915168022854248793' title=''/><author><name>Anna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08680693818461579148</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.synthetichappiness.com/2007/10/why-am-i-unhappy.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062118583758559015.post-2386204491616050416' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2062118583758559015/posts/default/2386204491616050416' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-350014136'/></entry></feed>
