Do you get emotional fatigue...

When thinking of all the things you need to overcome, do, achieve or change about yourself?

It makes me feel so depleted. The anxiety I have on various parts of life makes me feel limited and small. And Ive been working at certain fears to heal, so my life can feel more joy, feel Ive achieved anything, but its still not there...My life's going by, and it makes me sad.

I am going through the exact same things. As I get older, it is hard to change your ways. To me it is pretty much set in stone. So I ignore it until I become exhausted with who I am. Wrung out and put away. I look back at all that but never focus on what I've achieved, which makes me sad. I can truly relate to you. Your story is like mine. Two perfectly imperfect people

@SW-User Sorry you feel that too..its a dreadful feeling, Ive been sitting hours feeling hopeless. How does one stop these fears?? Ive been working at them for years. Thats true maybe we are just perfectly imperfect. Because its really my ego comparing me to others. But when you fear simple things like being alone or love, you feel unwhole. I guess I dont look at what I achieved, even though its not much. Maybe we need to look at who we ARE, not what we do or what we have.

@Coralmist I have those same fears and go to a dark place because I know I can do better, Yet, we can focus on what we have been blessed with. Man, do I know the fears in relationships. Been over 20 years since I had a successful. love life. It is truly remarkable the learning experiences it has caused. It seems we have a few things in common my friend :)

@SW-User Yes the miniute I think of the things Im grateful for, anxiety does diminish. I think of little kids in the news, who died, and it realky lessens my fear of feeling unwhole. You will experience love again, no matter how long its been. 🌟
