Do you hide and keep to yourself when you are at your lowest? I do. I withdraw from the very help that I need. I've been doing that the past few weeks. I'm beginning to get better at last.

I started by expressing my thoughts and feelings and felt that they were ignored, so then I withdrew. I'm not referring to anyone online but in my 3D life. So often it feels like others can't understand. It doesn't matter if I express myself nicely and calmly or angrily and emotionally. It causes me to think that I don't matter.

Is hiding a safety mechanism of some kind? I'm wondering if it could be a time to regain our emotional strength. I seem to have regained some of mine for now. I'd be interested to know what others think. Thanks, Susan
