- When the going gets tough, do you feel stuck?
- Do you feel overwhelmed with painful emotions?
- Do you put on a brave face and detach yourself from your emotions?
- Do you feel like no one listens, understands or supports you?
- Do major life changes or losses make you feel lonelier than ever?
- Does asking for support make you feel weak & needy?
- Does accepting support make you feel like a burden?
- Are you harboring your need for unconditional love, compassion, and support?
I remember when I first got divorced, I would literally start each day saying "I hate my fucking life" and count down the hours until a glass of red wine seemed reasonable. Yes, I had every right to be sad, miserable and angry - for awhile.
