I can't explain it because I don't want to talk about my RL and give identifying details, but I feel like a failure and like I'm worthless. I emailed my T a totally depressing paragraph about how bad I feel.
I'm disappointed in myself and in others. I want to curl up in a ball and stay there. I don't want to pack and leave town. It's all too much for me. I'm selfish, too. I feel sick but I don't think I really am. I burned my tongue on hot soup and it hurts. I want my T. I want to be a baby. |

rainbow, I'm sorry you're feeling disappointed and unhappy, and that you burned your tongue. Life just kicks us in the tush sometimes, doesn't it?

Thanks for the hugs and responses-- Chopin, Vanessa, WePow, Karebear, Elli-Beth. ECHOES, Suzzie, and stopdog.
I feel a little better today.  Sending the email to my T helped, just to know that she knows how I was feeling. I filled out a log for EMDR about failure. I wrote my major failures on the back, but then I wrote successes in another list. That made me realize my life hasn't been a TOTAL failure; it's just that I failed at some things that were important to me. It doesn't make me a bad person. I have strengths and weaknesses like everyone else. Now I need to remember what I just wrote and not be so self-critical. That's the hard part.

Glad you feel a bit better. Disappointment and failure usually aren't permanent states; they just show us where we may need to rethink and approach a problem or situation a different way (especially disappointment in ourselves). I remember when I "studied" disappointment with my T (disappointed in my DH), how freeing it was discovering where it came from and how I did not have to stumble over it again because of the new understanding.
