> I live in the most gorgeous place on earth
Hi Fiona,
living in the most beautiful place won't make you feel okay, and it's lousy when you know it's great but you can't appreciate it ... but ... at least you're not living in a concrete jungle.
That's probably not what you need to hear.
Try not to be too hard on yourself for "not appreciating" your surroundings.
I've lived in Paris ... and been profoundly depressed there, which probably sounds scandalous to francophiles out there. I went to uni on a beautiful campus (okay not Scotland but) and was depressed there. Come to think of it, a cousin of mine went to St Andrews and was depressed there. And she's a golfer too.
Sorry no magic solutions for you ... thanks for posting this though, it's helpful for me to see that others go through the same why-am-I-not-in-ecstasy stuff. The town where I live now is surrounded by vineyards on rolling hills. Outside the city, it's like driving through a storybook. And I've profoundly depressed here too.
