Yes

I am a young woman married to a wonderful husband, I have the 'perfect' life when you look at it from the outside. We travel all over the world for his job meeting amazing people, seeing beautiful places and experiencing culture. But I am unfulfilled and discontented with my life.

I feel like I haven't done anything with my life. I used to dream of changing the world. I married right our of college, before I ever got a job, and began traveling with my husband because if I didn't I would hardly ever see my husband. I have such bad self esteem that he is the only person I truly feel supported by and comfortable around. If I got a job I wouldn't see him much at all and I don't want to risk the well being of our relationship. I wish I could just be content with my life as it is now. Should I be?

Anytime I start to move forward, pursuing my career, I get extremely unmotivated and wonder why I am even trying. I feel like there are so many things in life I want to do and I have no idea how to pick which ones I should seriously consider, I get overwhelmed, stressed and anxious, so eventually, I quit altogether.
