Do not discount the strength of your own will. No one choses your path, only you do. Its hard I know, but no one can make you do anything. Thats part of happiness, is doing the very things you described. You just have to do it. Get a book on rational-emotive therapy. As long as you believe that a god has fated your life, you will never be happy.
> Why were we chosen as the ones to suffer? Why must I endure days on end of depression and anxiety? Instead of spending my time with hobbies, family, career as others do, I spend it with psychiatrist, social workers, pharmacists. I spend it trying to fix my brain. Oh, just to feel again .... to laugh, cry, love, daydream. No, just pain. This is the path God has chosen for me. Why I was chosen, will never know. Why I would trade my life for just one normal year of existence, just one year.
