pow, right in the genders (~-) 

Tired but don't want to sleep. Brain's still not really feeling all that great. I still feel like I'm some kind of faker, failure, whatever. I don't know. I'm going to stay up to make myself more tired and then try to sleep.

I think I have some kind of deep-seated need or requirement to break emotionally every so often. It just seems to happen, doesn't even need a triggering event.

I guess it's a good thing that I've been learning (slowly, very slowly) to bounce back more quickly.

@Soreth *sending hugs* You are real, and valued as yourself. Even though it may be hard to believe right now, it's true.

@Soreth I'm no stranger to that myself. It's like some amount of emotional toxins build up over time, and then once an invisible threshhold is hit – whether by a huge jump or some tiny thing – there's suddenly got to be a purge, and only after that can we function again.

Ideally, we'd never have these toxins, but in the meantime, at least we can learn to purge them in a healthy way. You're not alone in the effort. *hugs*
