Why am I not happy?

Why am I not happy?

From the outside I look like a happy woman. I have an amazing and attractive husband. Amazing well behaved kids and a good job. BUT... I'm not. My Job is never good enough. My kids stress me out with their whining. I work long hours and by the time I get home I cant be bothered with my family. I'm sick of cooking and cleaning. I don't feel excited about anything anymore. I'm overly critical of myself and my body. I hate what I see, how I act and the way I feel all the time. Why can't I just be content and happy??

I don't know why, have you ever spoken to your GP about it? Have you ever spoken to a psychologist or counsellor? Might be time, just because you are unhappy doesn't mean you can't improve things.

You need to take some time to reflect on who you are and what you value. True happiness has to come from within before you can give it to anyone else. I highly recommend talking to your GP and seeing a psychologist. What you are going through is completely normal and given the right guidance and tools you will find your happiness again. Hang in there. X
