Outside of my professional life, my life is unsuccessful and is the greatest source of my unhappiness. It's not financial or anything like that, but more so a lack of personal and inter-personal development that has not progressed as well as I'd hoped. When things don't turn out the way I plan, I tend to blame the things that are out of my control, one of which is blaming the environment and generalizing the community around me (i.e. this rural area, the demographics of it, etc.). In truth, such rationalizations are really just excuses.
Whenever I get the chance, I choose to let my job/work consume me so that I can keep my mind off of the sources of unhappiness in my life. I'll work extra hours and tell myself I'm doing it for the extra money, when in reality it's because I have nothing better to do or go home to do and can more than afford to do without the extra money. I know what I'm doing is only further harming myself. But even if I consciously am aware of what I'm subconsciously doing, it's easier said than done to stop. It seems like I'm going through a quarter-life crisis of sorts.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any therapists or life coaches in the SoMD area that may be able to help me find strategies to cope or solve these kind of issues I'm struggling with.
Thanks.
