((Little Me)),

I have dealt with this many times myself. And what I learned in therapy and time is that these "feeling so young and vulnerable feelings" are the hurt parts of me from my past "surfacing". I honestly did'nt even know I had these things hidden so deep in me. And I felt alot like you at first, and I didn't know what to do with it. But then after things bubbled up and I began to realize what they were about and talked about them in therapy, I slowly worked through them. These childhood troubles that come forward "are' parts of you that you never were able to address or understand. As you work through them, and I know they can be unsettling, you will begin to feel better.

With me, some of these things that have surfaced and very sad, and I can feel that little girl just as I did at that age. But, you know what? Now you are finally "old enough" and "strong enough" to quiet her and comfort her. And each time you do that you will feel better. It takes time, be patient you can work your way through this.
