Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I think you could be under stress lately. As you are healthy and living a healthy life style, and your doctor said you need a counseling service, I see that possibility. Second factor could be your age. At 47, people do become a little unsatisfied. Those things they were able to do much more effectively 5 years back, they take time to do the same now, at 47. That could be another cause for your disappointment. Please understand self and change your life style accordingly.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
