I think you expressed it rather well........sometimes we have something that is bothering us & we finally get it out for others to understand & know.......they accept it warmly, but it still doesn't change the situation we are in that we are sad about. When something can't be changed, we go through cycles of feeling in the dumps & then not.

When we don't think about the situation.....we feel better....when we think about it, knowing that there is no way it will really change even though we are accepted, brings us back into the dump feeling.

I know when something bad happens & I talk about it....I feel better for awhile...when I sleep, I feel better, then when I wake up & know that it really hasn't changes & reality is reality, the dump feeling comes back........sometimes this happens for awhile, sometimes longer......but it's a normal human reaction to life around us......when we know this & accept this, then we can feel a bit better.

My heart feels for you,
Debbie
