Finding joy in life » PhoenixGirl

In reply to 23, never had sex or relationship, sad about it, posted by PhoenixGirl on February 23, 2001, at 18:12:05

You've probably heard this before, but it would be good for you to try to find some pleasure in your life even without a relationship. If you can do some work getting that to happen that will be better for you. When you expect a relationship with a guy to be the thing that will bring you joy, that can put too much pressure on one thing or person.

I hope you find a therapist you can work with. My heart goes out to you--you are the same age as my children (21 and 24) and I give them the same advice about expectations from relationships.
There are some articles on Practicing Joy in the Living Well section of my website at http://www.undoingdepression.com. Perhaps you will find something helpful there.
