Did you not enter the world screaming and crying, and has it not been somewhat ok up to this point? (Or at least in between your points of doubt?)
You're still here. You're hurting. Feelings hurt. You've always been feeling, but now you're feeling something you'd rather avoid.
Avoiding things, that's a weird one.
If you don't check the slamming outside of your door, it could be anything.
If you avoid these feelings, sometimes your imagination makes them bigger.
Processing and accepting isn't easy. But after a good, calming rest. You sometimes wake up with the answer.
If not, then at least your calm and ready to hopefully keep on working with that feeling. Recognising what feelings in general are.
I think you'll be ok.
Esp. if you endured my writing this long.
On second thought...
Nah, kidding.
You'll find a way to see the beauty, despite the blemish.
Like a cigarette burn on your comfiest jacket.
I think you can find your comfort again, and accept it. Esp. with such a comfy jacket.

@originnone I never said it was.
I only ever said you're right.
It's how you frame it that makes the difference.
The nasty habit of being nasty, doubtful, hopeless. It's a habit.
It's validating maybe. It's empowering maybe.
But why?
How?
Is it not frustrating and undermining you?
That's just my demons.
But I often felt angry at those around me, while realising I wasn't in control, and therefore not really angry at times.
I was feeling dissonant in my criticism
I was distancing myself, to avoid facing myself in the words others had for me.

@originnone I am the original poster. I feel like today I learned something about my hubby that I didn’t want to know in the way he treated a child disrespectfully (not mine or ours). That’s a long story but it’s not the only story. I get the feeling I married the wrong person. He has his good points for sure. But I spend a lot of time in cringe mode.

@DoubleRings I think sometimes feelings just need to be heard and felt, before they settle. They need to be acknowledged and experienced for what they are at their core. The truth that is not settling in us. Not fitting with our world.
It doesn't mean it's untrue, it just means it's not being given the right consideration. It's not sitting right.
I wish you both the best. And I hope sleep can be achieved and become a positive habit.
I know it sounds maddening, but sometimes just going through the motions gets us there.

Yes.
Everything is going to be ok. but maybe not right now. Everything changes.
