Does anyone ever ask these questions to yourself or feel this way? What do you do??

[Unlimitedspace]

Why am I like this?

Why do I overthink everything?

Why do "simple" things set me off?

Feelings of regret

Feelings of shame

I'm so tired of feeling this way..

Yes I ask myself these questions. I try to use the things that upset me to fuel me instead.

What do you mean?

[Hidden in reply to Unlimitedspace]

All I mean is take for today something angered me. Instead of letting it eat me up I will use it to make me more determined to get where I want to be. I hope this makes sense, haven't had a great day.

It does make sense. I tried doing this the day before yesterday and the results were great, but yesterday I could not control how I responded, it hit hard. I am trying not to let it eat at me today, but it's still there in the back of my mind. I may be overthinking it but my feelings are valid! Why should I stuff my emotions down? It just doesn't seem fair. But I guess life isn't fair...

Yes, I feel this way often and every day. Something that is REALLY helping me (way more than talk therapy about my childhood ever did)... IFS therapy. It breaks down your feelings, behavior patterns, etc. into "parts" - actually you can do it yourself. I am doing IFS in a self-therapy model while I find a new psychologist. It's giving me some insane answers and clarity around why I do the things I do or feel the way I feel.

To be straightforward, I haven't fixed any of these issues, but at least now I can start to see them for what they are, parts of me that I am to care for and help... not faceless demons I'm to battle and destroy.

Just an idea. But in any case, my heart goes to you and I hope you find your answers soon.
