How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Jaded. I revisit these holidays with the same frame of mind every year, having found the perfect excuse to ruminate over what I’m missing and feel bad for no reason other than the fact that loneliness is once again a hot topic. If there’s one thing I feel that I’m missing out on, it’s always feeling like shit.

I’m feeling foolish. I’m glad I know better now, but I also am annoyed with myself that I was so wrong before. I was under the impression that I had any influence over my condition, and even the world at large, but that was a delusion of grandeur.

I am starting to see this more realistically, and it is a small relief that I am not significant in the grand scheme of whatever. At the same time, I spent all of this time getting wound up over the right way to behave, when I could have been relaxing this whole time. Nobody is paying me to run the frickin world. Nor do I have any ability or interest in that. Soooo why do I have to feel like a monster for not solving world peace, etc.

It’s almost like I want to ignore the work I could do to improve myself by projecting all my stuff “out there” and fighting against imaginary demons. Yet, when I try to face the things I can and should care for, I’m immediately flooded with panic and I short circuit into self soothing behaviors, whether or not they are healthy.
 
I feel really bad today. I have no idea what it’s about. I’m sure I will find out later. It’s not so much as feeling not good, but it’s like every few minutes I feel like my wind has been knocked out of me and I feel like I have been punched in the stomach.
That punch in the stomach feeling is horrid. Hope the feeling passes soon. Xx
