Can you separate "nothing is enough" from "nothing is ever going to be enough"? Sometimes I find it helpful to just acknowledge that indeed, I feel like the world is a black pit right now--I let the feeling in, give it space (not too much), and feel it down to my bones. At the same time, I only let myself go there if I also commit to believing that it will not always be so. I don't let myself debate that one. Sometimes giving myself over to that feeling--not acting it out!--for whatever reason, gives it permission to leave. I don't know how or why, just that it has worked for me.
