Things aren’t going quite the way you’d thought by now. You feel held back and stuck and when you look around at your life, you have so much to be thankful for and feel guilty for not being happier with your life. It feels like a personal failure. You wonder when did I start feeling this way? Maybe you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a career path, or an identity and it still hurts. You tell yourself you should “feel better” by now, but sometimes emotions surface, seemingly out of nowhere. Maybe it’s tears while you’re driving or anger that floods your body. Or, maybe you’ve experienced a big life change, and the stress and the lack of familiarity with the situation have you feeling out of your depth. You want to feel better, or maybe you just want to feel anything at all. You want to feel alive. You’ve been told you’re hard on yourself, and maybe that’s true, but you believe it is important to be accountable and recognize your responsibility in a situation. But then again, your exhaustion is growing and your efforts seem more like whack-a-mole than actual change. Meanwhile, time is fleeting and it’s making you feel further and further behind in life. Change is possible.
