Sad and drug-dependent. I don't like this world and I'm not happy despite having beautiful things around me.

I get anxious all the time about the past, about the time I consider lost. The only thing I can do to avoid getting depressed is to avoid reality in some way. I compare myself to other people and feel stupid, backward, unhappy and inferior even though others tell me otherwise. I've never loved myself, have only had momentary relief and can't find happiness even after psychiatric treatment. I want to enjoy things and be happy. Why is so difficult?

I have a few thoughts that I'll share tomorrow provided you are able to elaborate a bit on these questions:

1) "The only thing I can do to avoid getting depressed is to avoid reality in some way." How do you goin about avoiding reality?

2) "I've never loved myself, have only had momentary relief and can't find happiness even after psychiatric treatment." Was it just talk-therapy or did it also involve medication as well? Either way, what were the psychiatrists conclusions about ISSUES upon which you needed to work? What course of ACTION did she/he prescribe?

3) "I compare myself to other people..." along what specific dimensions? Are they subjective things like "they are confident, I am not" or objective things like "they have money and a house and I do not"?
 
Once in a while I see a "strong" chart belonging to a person living a life of despair. I think the problem is that you actually have a lot of hidden power, but have been afraid to use it. Maybe as a child you were punished for acting out or expressing power deemed inappropriate for a child, and got severely punished for it. Maybe you believed people wouldn't like you if you came out as a strong character.

I'm looking at your sun trine Pluto, which usually confers a lot of personal power; your Aries sun and Mercury; and moon sextile Mars. Also, your north node (or the moon) of personal growth is flanked by a feisty Uranus and Mars.

Also, as I look at your Neptune conjunct your MC and sextiling Jupiter, I wonder if your drug dependency is at the point where you cannot get out of it without real intervention. Neptune rules drugs licit and illicit, Jupiter says, "If a little is good, a lot is better," and reality will never feel as good as an artificial high. Especially not if the True You is squashed into a box and not allowed to come out.

Moon square Saturn can be very trying. The moon gives your emotional nature, but Saturn sends those signals of not being good enough,

The good Saturn, however, gives us a sense of hard work and self-discipline. Power exercised for the good of other people ben make you a beloved figure. (I have an older friend like this, whose volunteerism is legendary.)

See if you can let your Aries nature come out of the box. It wants to do something martial or athletic.

These steps may seem like so much sublimation, but the universe notices when you take small steps to help yourself.
