Stacey,

I am not going to tell you that you had better be thankful for everything you have, blah blah blah. I'll bet you hear that on a regular basis.

It sounds as though you feel isolated and depressed. I get that way, too sometimes. It's really hard to come up with a solution to your problems when you are focused so heavily on how badly they make you feel. But, I think it might be worthwhile to immerse yourself in something that makes you happy, whatever that is. Maybe you like to paint. Get yourself some colors you like and just paint for an afternoon. Whatever makes you happy, you should do for yourself. You mentioned you like cooking for your husband. Think about something YOU want to eat...maybe try cooking in a cuisine completely foreign to you. You can learn alot about cooking that way. Do something to improve yourself...not necessarily college, if you don't have the time or energy for that. Maybe take a martial arts class, or learn how to knit. There are lots of things you have occupy yourself with that can be rewarding, if you let yourself basque in those little accomplishments. Do something for yourself and have the courage to feel good about yourself in whatever you are doing.
