Self sabatoge

I have felt extremely depressed the last few days. I had a boyfriend who is extremely good to me, but when I feel like this, all I can think about are ways to sabotage the relationship. My therapist thinks it is because I don't feel I deserve to be happy. I WANT to be happy. But whenever I am, I am not satisfied. I don't know.. Just wanted to get this off my chest. :cry:

It makes perfect sense with what you wrote about your childhood. You are not comfortable being happy because you aren't accustomed to a peaceful life. For me, too, peace often means time for my past to start bubbling up and I have to deal with that pain. Keep at therapy and you'll get more practice at living without chaos.
