I find life dull and pointless and every day I have to go into my work feels like I’m living a pointless tragedy.

I’m turning 43 next month, and that makes it 30 years that I have felt hurt, angry, but most of all tired, so, so tired.

The chronic nature of this stupid disorder may be less a trial then the will to maintain treatment. I’m tired of being this someone else, this person void of the joy that defines my favourite memories. I’m tired of the slog of forward momentum, getting through another day, then another. Believing that the dreams of others will bring me peace. I’m tired of that pain in my soul that is a true battle between life ...

Hi all. I am new to this site. I am in between therapists so I was looking for some online support, but my new topic is actually for my boyfriend. He’s having these random episodes of anger, and everything Ive researched sounds like a mood disorder to me, but I’m not sure. So He’s always had a kind of anger issue.
