You can't always get what you want.

Monday nights, I leave my men's group feeling grateful for my life in comparison to the challenges my fellow group members face.  But within moments, I am back to feeling almost ambivalent about my life.  Right this moment I just feel numb.  It's not that I don't notice the sunrise... There is no sunrise; not for me.  I am confident this feeling of malaise will pass, but I am growing increasingly concerned that much of it stems from my desire for that which I cannot have.  I remember writing at one point about how I almost missed depression because  of the strong emotions it spurned.  Now I am constantly wrestling with very powerful emotions and I am mentally drained.  I think I need a break.  I  just feel so much pressure that I often visualize myself literally exploding.  "Guts and entrails everywhere" I recently commented.
