What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

dealing with ... I am going to be like this the rest of my life... wondering how I am ever going to have a relationship

I sometimes feel like I am stuck in one state and it feels awful. But it is not a fact that you will be like this for the rest of your life. Of course it feels like it and so that is not helpful. But facts are NOT feelings. I have done some pretty extensive research in to this area! (And you can remind me another time ;)) Feelings ebb and flow - except when you are stuck in one and that feels like it has always been and will always be that way.

When you are not feeling good about yourself and so it is easy to project this on to other people. I, too, have done this.
 
I feel an intense need to be held. To be reassured that I am okay and things will be okay. To be validated as valuable and not a burden. I guess I am feeling really insecure this morning. Afraid of not being enough, doing enough, knowing enough. Afraid of rejection and being given up on as I struggle. I feel disposable.
 
I woke up feeling down, but I am doing better now. Today is election day which will decide our future. Scary. I will be watching it. I am feeling slowed down. Husband is worried about money today. It will be one of those days. I am sad about that.

Hugs for everyone who is struggling today.
 
Stood up to my ex today and let him know what I really think of him- via text. He didn't intimidate me and I felt so much stronger. So, feeling pleased and proud and - a little surprised. Finally letting go of my rage and feeling empowered to say what I think felt a bit naughty and outrageous but actually really good!! I was surprised how good it felt.
