Wow! I'm going to be sitting with this one for a while. It's one of the many posts of yours that makes me want to ask, "Are you actually right here INSIDE my head??" I feel every line of this and though I've done a LOT of processing over the last couple of years and know how important it is to feel my feelings...I still want to run away from them so often. They can feel so scary and overwhelming. Thank you for helping me see I'm not alone. :)
That means a lot, thank you! And I want to run away from mine often as well. Like, the good stuff is great but the not-so-good stuff has me running for the hills. To get as far away from whatever the thing is that ignited those feelings because that'll at least take the intensity down a couple notches. I regularly wonder if I'll ever not feel this way.
Always thought if I felt it, I would never stop crying. Therapy has helped. Thanks so much for sharing this!!

Very true it feels freeing to allow your emotions in. And to get to the other side of it!
It is such a fine line between knowing and obstinate.
