Yes, this is my problem - I try to analyse and justify everything in my life. I have grown aware that quite often I can come up with wrong justifications, so it looks like I'm lying to myself and others. I need to stop it somehow.
I guess you are right that I lack self-awareness and thus I don't pursue my happiness. I have decided to undergo a behavioral psychotherapy in hope that I will change in this aspect.
And I agree with that I quite dependent on validation from other people. This is also something I should work on.
One aspect I didn't mention was the physical one: your body controls your mind, not the other way around. Imagine how a cup of coffee makes you feel, and stretch that over years: that's hormones. They control our very perceptions.
I would recommend seeing a doctor and getting bloodwork done and your estrogen checked. Also, the pill and SSRIs (antidepressants) make a cocktail that's hell for the reasoning part of your brain.
It's one of the reasons why married women with a lot of kids are more mentally stable than the cat lady types.
What's love and who to be with: need help
