feel like giving up - talk to me!

[Gnosis]

Luv, I don't see anything in your list that 'makes you happy' You need at least ONE of those. The attorney is a task... i.e. something that needs to be done. Separate work from pleasure.

Here are some ideas:
(a) get a facial
(b) change your hair
(c) manicure/pedicure
(d) get a complete 'makeover'

Do things that WILL make you feel better and increase your self-esteem.

As for your friend, let us know what H told her.

Remember, you are DB'ing for YOU.
