Hi. I am not the most frequent poster here on this board, nor am I the most avid student of the enneagram. But I know a few things, though. I am a 4. This much I know. There is a bit of a 5 wing to my fourness. Those of you who may know me a little more perhaps know that I am not one of the healthiest 4's around. Everywhere I see on this board, you've all been through hard times, and seem to be very happy with where you are.

Hell, Amanda gets divorced, and to her its like a weight lifted off her houlders. :) I admire that.

I'm an unhealthy 4. Its not very hard to tell. You take a look at the "Textbook" chart of the unhealthy 4 right here on this site, and you've got, well, ME.

Another word for unhealthy? Sick. I'm a sick, sick person.

Tell me, doc. Is there a cure? I'm sick of being sick. I can't do it anymore. Not this same old routine. This same old me who's 2 inches shorter, 6 months younger, and 40 pounds lighter.

I'm a libra. The scales. So tonight I decided to weigh everything out. See what I haven't got, compared with what seems like everyone else:

Determination.
Motivation.
Ability.
Brains.
Brawn.
Family.
Friends.
God.

Enough is enough. Psychotherapy is expensive, and popping bubble wrap is cheap.

I need to know if any of you ever get to feeling this way, and how you got to stop? Maybe this is just me. The way I am. The way things are. Though things change, they seem to change to the way they were before. They way, I suppose, things just simply are.

Thank you for your time.
