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

I am so overwhelmed! I try to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel to help myself manage feeling helpless and lost. But having nightmare and insomnia makes it freaking hard to even be aware that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - I can't see it, so I forget that it's there.

Craving contact with people - I have just sent a Christmas card to a distant relative. I have not seen her for about 10 years, but she knows what my family is like - she married one and then divorced him pretty quickly! I am hoping that she will be willing to engage in some kind of correspondence with me, as this might help me to feel as though I do have some kind of family connection. I want this so much but can't see any way that it will happen with my immediate relatives.

Hurting because all of the horrible things that have been said between myself and my "family". Talk about dysfunctional! It seems that so many horrible things have happened between us that there is no longer any kind of way for me to re-engage with them. I want the support of a cohesive and happy family - but the one that I have could never provide this, so why bother trying to "fix" the problems. I am sure if I tried it would be devastating for me, and that is that last thing I need! So wishing for this to happen is stupid, stupid, stupid.
 
I am feeling so much better. I sorted out my problems and I put it in proper perspective and it feels so wonderful. I was feeling so low. All of life is a practice and it is a learn as I go. I will not take things so personally from now on I think. The pain is gone. I am so happy.
