Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- A feeling slams into me and I have no idea where it came from or why it’s this big
- The fear tells me to avoid and the hurt tells me to lash out, and every time I obey the urge it just feeds the feeling bigger
- The instant a feeling hits I’m already inside it, reacting before I’ve had a single second to choose
- My days have flattened into nothing but obligations and dread, and there’s no good stuff banked anywhere
- I’ve looked at it from every angle and I still can’t tell whether I’m genuinely being wronged here or whether my reaction is way bigger than the situation deserves
