Over the past few weeks I have realized that I need to start understanding that not everything is about FEELINGS. You may FEEL alone, that does not make it facts, you may FEEL like you can’t take control, you may feel like you can’t go on, you may feel like you have no purpose. Feeling is about an emotional state, something that can change at any moment. But, guess what you can’t change FACTS!
You might have to read it twice, to feel what I am saying.

It is so difficult. There are three brain states- fight/flight, emotion, and higher reasoning. When we drop down to one of the lower states we lose the ability to be governed by logic. I know that breathing techniques, meditation and other methods work for resetting us and getting us back into higher reasoning but when depression or anxiety step in then it’s not so easy to remember or successfully do those things. Good luck fighting emotion’s takeover, it is very difficult.
Sometimes I hate having feelings. I’m so tired of anxiety and depression. I’ve had a few times in my life free of them - but anxiety and depression have blighted most of my life.
I definitely understand. What’s hard for me is that I’ve let my feelings control me for so long, I’ve considered myself and emotional person for so long, that I don’t know how to break out of that. I’ve been stressed recently and when I look at the facts everything is fine and well and good, but I allow myself to get so overwhelmed I’m blinded by my FEELINGS. It’s all a state of mind and the mind can be required but it is hard work.
