I was trying so so hard to stay positive just like you are. And I was actually doing okay and then when I got home I was like "I made it!" and I was proud. I texted my boyfriend in hopes of sharing that with him but all he did was talk about his day and never asked about mine, even after saying "Today was really testing me and I'm so tired".
I know I shouldn't look for validation and just be proud of myself but omg I just started crying because I feel like a failure again and honestly, I've been on the brink of feeling bad again for the past week and I wasn't sure for how much longer I would be able to keep up this happy stretch for anyway  |
Aw, man. I'm sorry you're feeling badly as well! As far as the boyfriend goes, try not to take it personally...I have lots of days where I don't think beyond the tip of my own nose. People could hint all they want and I'm just too obtuse/wrapped up in my own stuff to pick up on it. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to blow you off. At the same time, maybe he just felt he wasn't able, in his emotional state, to give you the emotional validation you needed or that he felt you deserved. I've felt that way with people before.
I know I posted this in a bad mood but I'm feeling alright. In fact, today I'm great! It was in the mid-60's today and I started some light spring cleaning (just purging/throwing lots of crap around the house--4 bags full!), plus I cooked myself a nice, healthy dinner. So I feel productive. There are set-backs and bad days, but it doesn't mean we're failures. That's just normal life.
