Does this sound familiar?
My emotions seem so big and overwhelming that they paralyse me.
When I get overwhelmed with emotions, I do things I regret.
I feel numb and emotionless sometimes.
I want to feel close and secure with my loved ones,
but we seem to end up fighting a lot and I have difficulty trusting them.
I don’t know who I am. I am so used to being whoever others want me to be.
Things seem to be going fine, but I feel something is missing in my life.
I hate myself, why can’t I get my life together?
Why do the same things keep happening again even though I’m trying so hard to change?
I feel weighed down by the burdens and traumas of my past,
I can’t seem to move forward and leave them behind.
