I completely agree Brian, however thus far i’m having no luck in getting to the bottom of it. I grew up with two chronically depressed parents in a home that was sometimes emotionally and occasionally physically abusive. I am certain that has had a big impact and I’ve often suspected you partially learn how to be happy as you grow up. I never got to learn that lesson. I do think that long term therapy may help but it’s simply not available in the NHS and I can;t afford to go privately. Your point is very well made though.
