Yes, OT, the use of Wellbutrin was already explained to me somewhat by LIS.
I don't know how to separate myself emotionally from the outside world. I don't know how to *not* let outside things affect my *internal* happiness. I don't even know the difference. I stopped watching the news years ago when the Irag war was in full force and they tallied the war casualties every night, because I would get so depressed after hearing yet another 18yo kid was killed and imagining the loss the family must feel. The widow across the street has buried two loving H's; the first killed by a drunk driver, the second by cancer. She's only 60. That makes me sad. I don't know how to not "externalize my unhappiness," and think instead, "Well, bummer for YOU, but I'm still happy!" In fact, I consider someone that can do that as being cold and indifferent, and wouldn't even want to be that way.
"Write down all the ways in which you are moving forward even in light of of fear." Moving forward, to where?
