I seem to struggle to be happy, I mean it takes a massive effort. To others it seems as though I have a very good job, beautiful flat, slim, fit, loads of good friends, holidays abroad...but my life hasn't turned out the way I thought it would - am single, no children. A lot of my friends have all of the same things as me but also a family. I am mid 50s and just can't see a future that's different, I am always out doing things but it's to stop me feeling lonely and it's bloody exhausting.
I am thinking of getting some therapy, I had CBT in the past for quite specific things but honestly didn't think it will help. Any suggestions? Has it helped people?
