Good morning, morning coffee and feeling defeated

I'm going to extremes, I must calm
But I see what happens and how my frequency changes and were I am put.

I absolutely feel like a failure, comparing myself to so many others I have met throughout my journeys, whom like me, went out in search of something bigger and then returned back to their home towns and made a project and made a difference. I, on the contrary don't have the supportive environment those had.
I do have it though and I know I do, but I am losing my belief and everything goes in vain.

It is not the first time.

I had this terrible dream again about these tiny insects that inhibit my mom's house - and I saw these having made a nest inside of my left arm. They were eating my arm.

I see, I know. I must remember.

Somehow I am blaming myself for everything, for the choices, for the relationship with my family. Because after all this focus in healing, I had expectations, even if not realising it.

I know SW is already loaded with lots of pain and negativity and I do my best to bring good things here, but I also need to be honest with my journey.

I am not where I want to be and supposedly I am "home". This is not home, no. This is unsettling.

I totally get you, I’ve not achieved the things that I wanted and I’m scared I never will. My past as a bully at school makes me want to hide away, I’m so embarrassed about who I was.
You seem to have done incredible things so don’t be too hard on yourself, I’m sure you will do incredible stuff in the future.

I’m so embarrassed about who I was.
But if you aren't that person now you must not let that embarrassment about the past hold you down.

Thankyou, I know I shouldn’t, but sometimes it just gets into my mind and I dwell on it. @ninalanyon

I know the feeling, different things to feel embarrassed about but yes it crops up inside me too. I know it's probably a trite thing to say but what seems to work for me is to be busy doing something. It helps to have some kind of task in front of one that looks like it will be enjoyable or at least in some vague sense positive.
