Feeling Discouraged and Hopeless

yes I feel you

I’ve definitely gotten stuck in feelings of worthlessness and despair, it’s a natural part of life to want to hold onto and fix these emotions. What I’ve found is that, once I accept the feelings and give myself the space to write or say what I need to, I am more able to move on to the next thing. Whether that be a distraction, or reaching out to others. It’s okay to feel how you do, whatever you need to feel at whatever intensity. I know it’s hard to get through it, but you’re capable and doing your best! Working through and remaining curious about these feelings is a great tool towards finding your peace, and I hope you can get some respite from these heavy feelings.

Yes

yes, all the time

Yep

All the time! And to know that the worst will always pass but that we will always have the feelings, just at a less severe level.

Yes. Especially when it's intense. We have to remember that "this too shall pass"
