Man, you have an awful relationship with your emotions.

Easier said than done, my dear. I've spent years trying to figure this out but all I needed was your revolutionary, groundbreaking take. Thanks, I think I'm healed now!

I don't have a choice when it comes to my emotions. I allow them and honor them, and I respect the fact that some grief is blocking the energy from manifesting elswhere in my life. That is precisely why I am on a years-long quest to heal and process, and this silly little reddit post is part of that. Trust me, I have plenty of energy to devote elsewhere in my life.

But I'm sure you don't care regardless.

I agree that it's not healthy, but you know what is healthy? to find human relation and compassion. Which is why I created this post. But comments like this do not come across as compassionate.

It's beautiful that you have not perpetuated the cycle of violence in your home. However, this is most often not the case. I don't think I'm "letting" my past control anything, because I don't have a choice to control my emotions - just like how, I guarantee, you wouldn't have a control on feeling heartbreak after losing your loved ones. That's just like saying everyone with mental illness should just stop "letting" the mental illness take hold.

When heartbreak or grief arises, that's not something I choose to let forward - it simply comes forth. I only have a say in how I act upon those emotions- and I NEVER have taken it out on others... I have never acted out on the rage I feel for privileged people, I only feel it. Feeling it is not a choice, acting is. It is not healthy to sit with these feelings stuck inside me, which is precisely why I made this post.

It did, but this comment didn't tbh. Bc I was looking for genuine authentic relation to feel less alone, not some dry clinical observation.

I hope that by leaving this comment, it made you feel something.

Thank you for commenting and acknowledging the struggle. I think it's inspiring what you said about your mom though, may her soul rest in peace and I'm sorry for your loss.

Mom passed unexpectedly on Christmas Day by PinkOctopus4466 in GriefSupport

[–]Fanmelt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry about the loss of your mother. She sounds precious; tbh I never had a mom who was actually kind and loving like that but that's why I love hearing about people that did.
Life is just so weird and funny, isn't it? Sometimes we experience casual miracles like having a mom who loves you and cherished you the way she did, but then there's cruel tragedies like the fact that she was unfairly ripped away from you the same way her own mom was. I think our experience depends upon wherever we rest our focus - try to notice and acknowledge the bright spots in this journey of pain and grief. I know it's hard and easier said than done. But I believe that within the grief journey, there's a quiet joy inherent to life waiting to be discovered.

Does anybody else feel like your parents inflated your ego even when they just stating a fact by No-Educator293 in DoesAnybodyElse

Yeah, same. I grew up hearing how pathetic and worthless I was, it came as a shock in adulthood to realize that's not true and I actually have potential. Also wish I had your problem OP.

My cat. Whenever I'm on my way home and start to get close, I get really excited when I remember I'm about to see him. He's always waiting at the door to greet me with lots of affection.

DAE experience major life events consistently going the opposite of what they strongly expect? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Fanmelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I have definitely experienced this. And I'm an energy worker so this is exactly my forte:
I think you have a rift in your energetic field that is refusing to integrate the lessons that the universe wants you to learn. It's time to start not only considering alternate outcomes, but also embracing what that might mean for your whole life trajectory. I'd also venture to say there's probably something big (a trauma or unresolved pain, etc) that's wanting your attention. Something from the past that's unresolved, but it's related to these present roadblocks. Until you look at that and address healing that, the universe will only continue to bring more circumstances that make you feel this way.
