So I'm confuddled. Someone please help my brain...
I seem to be unable to sort out my own problems and therefore I get depressed about them. Like now I'm in driving my self nuts over my love life (see below) and I'm worried about every little detail to do with my job situation but I don't seem to want to look directly at those problems. I want to ignore them. Thats all well and good. I can understand my ignoring my problems. They fester away and depress me but I have something that seems to lift the depression. And recently it seems the only thing that does lift the depression is... wait for it...
Giving advice.
Yeah you heard. I feel better by contradicting myself. I'm all for everyone else sorting out thier problems...but me? No way I'm not sorting my own problems. Not til they jump on me screaming "Fix me! Fix me!"
I don't get the warm and fuzzies from helping people - well I do but thats not what makes me happy. Its the bit where they realise that they're going to be fine...and that they can solve thier problems on thier own.
I must be nuts.
