I Am Struggling To Keep Myself Together

I’ve never been much of a talker, and can’t really express myself well. I’ve always thought of my emotions like a library and all the books are feelings waiting to be dealt with. But all my shelves are full and the books are stacked from floor to ceiling I’m out of room to put them anywhere. It’s all gotten really unorganized and I’ve just started throwing them out the windows. I can’t seem to find a starting point on how to deal with them. Since I’ve become pregnant and my hormones have gone to hell and back i’m about ready to just burn the place down.

Talk to your doctor. Your emotional health needs to be addressed for the health of your baby.

I think you did a good job here expressing yourself. No doubt you're going through a lot, but there are a lot of people and services to help out. You just have to reach out to them to let them know you want some help. One thing I have learned through my life is that if you don't seek help, you will rarely get it. I know it is hard to ask for help with emotional stuff. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. You did well just writing what you did.

That’s a nice analogy. I think you should take it further by trying to understanding what’s written in each book. Burning down the library will stop your growth. Sometimes growth has to include discomfort.

We all hate it, but it’s worth experiencing it for the results.

If you can't express yourself well through talking, writing is just fine. Feel free to write to me. I try to be a good listener.
