I crave attention but I don't know how to handle it when I receive it.
I feel lonely but I push people away and prefer to be alone.
I'm emotional but I find it hard to express my emotions and feelings.
I help others be positive but I'm negative about myself.
I'm pretty messed up 🙈🤯
Tomorrow is a new day
This shows a lot of self-awareness. I can relate to a lot of what you said. Hope your day improves.. ❤️
I think self-awareness is something many people don't do much of. They don't like admitting why they feel a certain way. This is why I like this thread a lot. It kinda gives you an outlet for whatever it is that's weighing you down yet you open yourself up to the rawness of it. I am seeing bits and pieces of myself in many of these posts then I hug the crap out of them in hopes that they know they aren't alone in those feelings.
For me, it takes a bit more quiet/still time than I have most days, so I don't get to really think/reflect as much as I'd like. A lot of that is COVID related... Hard to find time away/alone right now.3 -
I wonder if most people wake up to greet the day with hope and eagerness, bring it on type of feeling or try to hide their head back under their pillow, cursing, automatically figuring it's gonna be a bust.
I don't tend to think about days as being good or bad, but most mornings I wake up thinking about what I'm going to do or accomplish that day. So most days start with the potential to be productive, beneficial days. That usually goes out the window around 10:30am.4 -

Take care of yourself #1 lady - *kitten* all your other responsibilities (other than your kids and you)...
Its 'hard to do' (for me, anyway) but just take the time off, for you. If anyone has a problem with that in your life - red flag...rethink that situation4 -

And to contribute something to the thread: I officially entered the mid 30s (in the sense that I can't lie to myself anymore) a few weeks ago, and my feels about that are... well, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it, but it's not good...5 -

My boyfriend says he wakes up every day wondering, "What fresh hell is this?" But he's been depressed for years.
I wake up and sort of tranquilly wonder what possibilities I have today, and lay there for a second and sort out what hurts and how badly (Fibromyalgia) because that will impact it, point out to myself that getting up on time prevents migraines, and once I'm up I'm good.
I read this in a comical manner and would personally say it that way until you reminded me he's dealing with depression.
I wake up surprised to be alive and then thank God before a round of morning devotions.
Tomorrow, I may just end with "Now... What fresh hell is this?" (but in my giggling way) in honour of your partner.
The fact that - despite the statement- he still gets up, gets to it (even if slowly even if partially) and eventually gets the day started means he's a warrior. So are you 🤗
you are so stellar and positive thank you for all your uplifting messages...
Thank you for saying that. PTSD combined with depression is a beast, and it was pretty bad for me last night. It is really really tough to watch someone you love suffering that kind of pain and not be able to do anything except make them a good dinner and put fresh sheets on the bed.

{{HUGS}} all around.
Words cannot tell you how grateful I am to have this place where I can come to read, laugh, commiserate, and share, all to help me leave my own worries behind even if only for 5 minutes.8 -

Probably the biggest reason my husband and I are such a great match is because we are so emotionally distant from each other. We are both extremely reserved and private people who spend precious little time examining our feelings about things. I run from commitment. I avoid having expectations of any kind placed upon me. I laugh off serious matters and dodge anything too engaging or real. I do feel very real things for other people; love, affection, interest, happiness for them, etc, but I run when others feel things for me. I hate feeling responsible for it.
I feel like all of that means I should feel more lonely, but I don’t at all. I do, however, wonder if others can relate to what I’m describing. I also wonder if I’ll be a crabby old goat later on in life9 -

I share my deepest thoughts and feelings mostly with just my 3 daughters.. its a trust thing. I trust them never to use my thoughts or feelings against me. We are very close and use each other as sounding boards I guess. Everyone else gets the jokster.. nothing is serious.

Uhm, are you me? I feel like you wrote this about me instead of yourself.
I really was beginning to think I was alone in feeling or being like this, so thank you.2
