How Do I Know If I'm "Sick" Or "Normal"?
I'm a good mom, a decent wife, a seemingly "normal" person. But my parents and siblings have rejected me and I can't seem to make friends. I have had some rough times, so I see a therapist and have taken anti-depressants for years. I go to the gym, read a lot, and do freelance projects. Lately I've had some overpowering anger toward my "family of origin" and when I express it, they seem to think I'm sick. I'm pretty sure I'm just plain angry--but how do I know they aren't right?

I don't feel that you have some major sickness but i guess that you have no control over your emotions. For successful life, it is not the intelligent quotient (IQ) which is necessary but it is emotion quotient (EQ). So, control your emotions and try to understand other peoples by putting yourself in their shoes. This will enable you to make many friends including your family member.

Don't even focus on thinking you're "sick". Your brain will automatically file this info and will keep haunting you with the possibility. You don't seem to know whether or not you're "sick" or "normal" so go ahead and choose "normal". Don't even think that you might not be normal. We can actually make ourselves sick by wondering whether or not we are (sick).
Kick those thoughts out of your head and whenever they sneak back in, just immediately toss the thought out again by thinking of anything else.
Your parents and siblings feel they need to reject you for some reason which I'm sure you are aware of. Never forget that you can change from how you acted in the past and become a new and better person in the future. Over time your family will begin to see this new and better person and feel less threatened and warm up to you. Do not ever let how they feel dictate to you that you're not a good enough person. We all suffer from baggage. Just do the best you can to be the best person you can, starting right now and into your future. You can't change the past but you can change the future.
You may indeed be angry at your family and that's o.k. If they deserve it. Part of your anger is at yourself too which I'm sure you're aware of. Try to not feel angry toward yourself for anything you did in the past - it won't change anything. Forgive yourself and forgive your family if possible. Don't dwell on the past and the regrets and negatives - go ahead and give yourself permission to move on into the present and the future. Whenever you start to think about the past and the anger - stop doing so immediately and focus on anything else you can possibly think of. This way you'll retrain your mind to stop dwelling on these things that hurt you and hold you back from living an enjoyable life.
