I think it's important to take time to acknowledge your own feelings. I feel like it is unfair that I can't marry my fiancée because the police is too ignorant to help me with not one but several of my abusers, to the point where I have to live my life in fear. I don't find this to be "focus[ing] on the fact that these plans fell through", I feel it is only right to be sad and acknowledge myself being sad.

I do not usually let these things get me down. I've lived with it for years and generally, about one day out of every 2 months or so I get tired of it. I want a facebook or to walk down the street without having to check if they're around, or having to have secret everything or picking my mail up a long way away because I can't even have a normal mail box, or just the general having to put my life on hold indefinitely on so many levels because of this. The rest of the time? I just live my life. I do the things I need to do and I enjoy the time I spend with the people I choose to have in my life. I am happy most of the time.

But today, this doesn't feel okay. And that's okay, too.

I never said to not acknowledge your feelings or that it wasn't ok that this doesn't feel ok.... I never said anything close to that... :|

I was just trying to help cheer you up a bit is all...

You're welcome. :wink: Nah, at the most it just sounded like my attempt to cheer you up was misinterpreted is all, and that's ok. That stuff happens. :wink: Hope things get better for you.

Good to hear from you too, Hawk :D I've been keeping a low profile because I'm in a super paranoid phase :roll: It'll pass. Hope you're all OK.

How are you doing today, lifelongthing? Sorry to intrude on your thread.

Thank you Owleyes, you're not intruding at all :)

I hope you feel less paranoid soon :)

Things are okay. I feel less sad but of course it's still there. One day at a time, so :)
