I feel like my whole life is just a big mascarade and that nobody knows me, not even my own family. There are some days I hate myself so bad, I seem to have forgotten if there ever really was a real likeable person inside me. Please don't say you need to go on meds. I have been for 3/4ths of my life. Just somedays I wonder, is this life done with me and how can anyone like this person I am? My husband is the best person in this world, yet I have no real desires anymore, but he still loves me. I know the two grandchildren I have need me, so that's what keeps me pushing myself to not just quit! Really, lately, i just feel like i'm done.

I get like that sometimes, too. Everyone does... though you're feeling it harder right now than most.

What I'd recommend is that you get into something new. There are a lot of things you're good at I am sure, and were acknowledged for in the past; raising kids, maybe a job you did, and so on... but now it seems like your kids are fully independant, and those things about you that people appreciated so much are either taken for granted or not needed anymore.

So get into a hobby or pursuit that you've always wanted to do. Do it for yourself. Dancing, or painting, or whatever it may be. Something that you can look at and say, 'I'm good at this... I'm enjoying this... I'm proud of what I'm accomplishing right now'. Something where you're re-establishing your own identity and it isn't tied up with approval from the same people who take you a little bit for granted.

Getting into a new hobby might also get you out and meeting new friends, and those friends will experience those other qualities that make you special... and in so doing, it might also make you remember what those qualities are :-)

Maybe you should figure out something you really enjoy doing. Think long and hard, remember things you did when you were younger. Maybe a hobby, something to keep you busy will help. It will give you a new purpose in life. Sometimes we all get like this. You just can't let it rule your life.

Good luck and best wishes!!
