why can't i
i wrote about depression today on the boards.
i don't want to beat myself up - maybe I should rest for a while.
I wonder why I seem to need some other force in my life to get work done
rather than independently achieving a goal.
my whole family are entrepeneurs
maybe with some gentle self talk I'll be able to
do something like that too.

You wondered: "why I seem to need some other force in my life to get work done

In my own therapy, I worked/work to replace the "rather" with an "in addition to." As much as I would rather be a solitary grizzly bear, living most of my life in glorious solitude, I am still stuck being a human being and humans are a gregarious species. We are hard wired to need other humans.
Still, we humans also need our independent goals.
Continued support while you find your own personal balance, Mark. Balance in all things.
thanks arfie, your words make good sense!!
