Question: I'm glad I heard you on 1047 Kiss FM this week. For the past six months I have been feeling like my life is a dream. Sometimes when I'm driving or even talking to someone this feeling comes across me like I'm not really living. I'm not sure if it is a sign of depression or if it is because my life is at a stand still. I'm feeling stuck right now. I have been with my boyfriend for five years and we started to have some problems and I moved out on my own about a year ago. I got a small condo that I really like and I have a great job, so I'm not sure why I started feeling this way. I'm still with my boyfriend because he has tried so hard to work on our relationship. Some of the problems started when I moved in with him. He has lived on his own for many years and when I moved in it was an adjustment to both of his. He is really set in his ways with the house so I wasn't able to decorate or feel a bit like it was my home too. I felt like I was living out of a box. He also had a temper at times and I started to think about moving out when our fights were getting out of hand. Since then he made an appointment to go to couples counseling but we only went once. I feel so confused on what to do. I'm 28 years old and I feel like I may be wasting my time but a part of me wants to work it out. I heard that you had a boot camp and I would like to get more information. You really inspired me and I hope to get out of this stand still and confusion and move on with my life. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for all the people you’ve helped.
