"LOVE"

“Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity. . .Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. . . . love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.” ~M. Scott Peck

Emotional Breakdown and lost

Sometimes, when I think a lot, it can be good or bad.

I just feel lost. I tend to get down on myself so much. I also know that I have never stuck with anything in my life. AKA....I tend to give up really easily.

I have a depressive history and I am not good with change.

Right now, I think I am there. I am just so tired.

Right now I have this overwhelming worthlessness. I have applied to so many places, and yet, no response. How can there be nothing? So, I find myself giving up, and find myself caring less and less. You ask me how I am doing, and my answer will always be fine, even though it usually isn't. I like to keep my emotions to myself. That is just me. So, I won't let anyone know how I am fully feeling, except for Alan a good amount of the time.

I don't like change. When I get comfortable with something, then I won't adjust well. I will rebel to a certain point. I get very uncomfortable with it. It is like taking me from my quiet place and putting me right in front of a giant crowd, and expecting me to be happy. Well, it is not going to happen.

Lately I have been feeling like shutting down and enclosing myself from the world.
I don't feel like I want to be me. Just want to step out and watch. No matter how many compliments I receive, there will never be enough. Alan says I am too harsh on myself, but a part of me believes I need to be. I don't like me. I really never have. I don't like mirrors. If I could destroy all of them, I would. I don't have any belief in myself. I have struggled with it ever since I was really really young, and I hate it. I look around at all the other pretty women in this world, and wish I was them. I compare myself with every woman that I meet. I am tired of feeling so ugly. How can someone truly love themselves. This is my life long battle.

I know in Church we are talking about James. And this past Sunday we were talking about James 3. It is about how your words can effect people. During the service I got a little emotional (ie tears started coming down from my eyes) Something I can sometimes not control, even though I try. I started thinking that words can be good as well as hinder someone's life. For me, it has hindered more then good. Referencing on growing up. I have been though so many negative words, some people just don't understand why I can get so down. It was those words growing up that, I feel, gave me all this negative. I just can't seem to get over it. It goes over and over in my head. The words that kids used to say to me. The whispers that I seemed to hear behind my back. Words can effect me greatly.

I can also take things the wrong way when it comes to words, even though it was not meant to. When I do, I become defensive as well as silent at the same time. Deciding if it is even worth to bring up sometimes, and just except it.

So, the question is, will I "ever" feel like I am worth it? The answer is, unknown.

So, there you have it.

  1. I really think you should consider Citalopram. It works wonders with a really small dose, and it costs 4 bucks a month. It has made a HUGE difference in my life - considering everything I went through and that I can't properly process stress and anxiety anymore, somedays it's the only thing that saves me. Things just aren't so overwhelming with it, it's a great relief. Please check into it, I know it would help you.
