Starting to feel that all negative emotions are justified in feeling, they’re just less useful to hang onto, and the big difficulty here is that I feel them because I feel threatened, and it’s a lot harder to accept that I’m not especially in conditions which seem so persistent as to seem permanent.

@Leucrotta That's a hard place to find yourself, friend.😞

Hard to shake, even harder to reason against; in those situations where the sad voices are Making A Lot Of Good Points, Actually, I often find it's most constructive to just let those voices have their point, & move past it with some kind of reset / self-care break (eat a snack, take a nap, indulge in some simple pleasure).

Sometimes the fears are right. But that doesn't mean it's not worth it to keep going.♥️🫂
