Getting through the holidays

I have survived the holidays, but I am not optimistic about the future.  Nothing brings me joy right now and I am withdrawing socially.  I feel like a failure with nothing to live for.  I am able to work, but that is about it.  Today I went do B’s track meet and once again felt the nervous anxiety pulsating through my body feeling claustrophobic in the presence of other parents from town. 

Why don’t I like myself?  I am a decent enough person...  I know that my sense of others disliking me is just a reflection of my own inner perception of myself.  I am honest, giving and rarely talk ill about others.  I spend most of my free time helping others and I never say no when asked for help.  Maybe I need to go back to therapy.  Maybe I still have some unresolved childhood issues.  Unfortunately my insurance does not cover my last therapist so now I have to find yet another counselor and retell my story all over again.  Arghhhhhh….
