Comfort zones

Is life paying you back with a lousy job, a miserable spouse, no social life?

No matter how much you put into the wrong job or the wrong people you will not feel better by taking a pill to improve it.

You do not need to change your prescription. You need to change your life.

Prescriptions are for chemical imbalances.

They might dull your senses and allow you to sleep through the agony, but they will never cure the problem if it isn't a medical one.

Sometimes it is necessary to bite the bullet and take charge of things. Get a different job, new coworkers, move to a different city, settle things or leave your spouse, reach out to new friends who have more in common with you.

Get out of your comfort zone.

Make changes. Suffer a bit of unease.

It won't last forever and chances are pretty good you will feel the change relatively quickly.

Three months after my husband and I separated I went off of antidepressants for years. Recently I stopped doing things I really didn't want to do and I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off of my shoulders.

Comfort zones are exclusive to you. No one else can decide which ones are best for you and no one else can give you a pill to make a bad one better.
