Misery

Perhaps it's not a good sign that I am writing my first post in a completely depressed state of mind.

I have been thinking about starting this blog since New Years Day but somehow the moment has never arrived. 

This blog is about my perspectives on different events around me and the world.

Plus some book reviews thrown in.

I am a doctor, over 40 and a mother of two 

Superficially life looks perfect... I have a small family, we are moderately well off and a  comfortable home.

But somehow I have this deep seated sadness which sometimes threatens to choke me.

I feel as if I spend my life fulfilling obligations and not have a say in my own life.

Today is just one of those days when you feel that if it were only possible to run away somewhere...
