Where to Start

I have been lurking here the last few days. I joined yesterday and I am now going to post my first post. While generally everything is true, I am changing a few facts because I have a fear I will get caught.



I am a guy in my late 30s. I have a professional office job that I feel I have a lot of responsibility which at times stresses me out. In general I get along good with the people I work with but would not call them close friends and do nothing outside of work (not even to eat lunch with). I don't think many people here actually like me and think of me as just being stuck up because I don't talk much and when I do talk always get right down to business.



I am married. I will not get too much into this now, but I would not say I am happy. She is the woman of my dreams but unfortunately I think she settled for me and I wish I was more like the man of her dreams.



I have always been mostly a loner. I had no friends groing up and nobody my age lived close to me. I did well in school but was very shy, didn't have any friends, and wasn't in very many extracurricular activities. I was forced to play little league, my first game I had two hits and caught a fly ball but then it was all down hill from there and felt I couldn't do well.



I feel I missed out on many things in my life and I actually get very emotional and cry of what I missed out on. At one time I did accept things for the way they were and that was probably the happiest period in my life. But recently I am not happy. I have little motivation and spend alot of time day dreaming that things were different.



I have a lot of emotions and issues with anxiety going on. I want to beat this! I am tired of my and want something better.
