If it’s to do with my mention of ‘the likely response’ I just meant that I know most people prefer to read upbeat posts rather than downbeat, self-critical ones. Nothing I said was personally directed at you, and I certainly didn’t intend to cause any offence, many apologies if that’s how it came across.
I actually said I didn’t believe I ‘deserved’ happiness, not that I don’t want it given the chance. I see a therapist in hope that she can help me to resolve this dilemma and learn to live comfortably with myself.

If you don’t believe that you should have happiness why bother with a therapist?
