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'm curious... what if I were able to have a relaxed, friendly conversation with your son and I asked him to tell me why he loved his mother so much... what do you think he would tell me?

@Ontheroad Do you mean a hypothetical son? I do not have a child actually 🍀

@Coralmist Yes, I guess I didn't set that up very well... imagine a son of 10 years old.

@Ontheroad Hmm perhaps he would say I am patient, love movies, laughter, being silly, and being out in nature. I like what you did there🌺. I just cant help but think , Im not socially where others are my age, not dating, fearful, and dont have my own home. You begin to feel less, when most have these.

@Coralmist Take those thoughts of who you are, the real you and put them on post its and post them on your mirror where everyday you will see them. Add to them as you realize all the things that make you uniquely you, lovingly and wonderfully you. You aren't in anyway less. It's all in your mind and these little reminders will help - I promise they will. Give it a try.
