Mid week blues
Today I feel Stressed, un-worthy, ignored , and forgotten. What’s worse when your feelings are invalidated.

I'm going through the same thing with my mom right now. I gave her a boundary and she crossed it. I told her not to do it again and she did it again. I told her it upset me. She yelled. So I told her I wouldn't speak to her again until next week. I told her we both needed a time out to think about how we were acting. People will never like it when you give them boundaries. But just like kids don't like bedtimes or vegetables you have to do them anyways because its what's best for them. You cannot change their behavior, but you can change how you interact with them as a result of them not changing. I can't get my mom to stop giving out my personal information but I can stop giving her private information for her to give out.
@Anonymous That is extremely helpful. Things like this can get very messy especially when attempting to make a point. Just hoping for the best especially because it’s work related.
How are your feelings being invalidated?
@Anonymous When given the opportunity to speak, it’s quickly belittled and gaslighted. I am one to think on things before I act and when it’s time to bring up small boundary requests, it is not an option
Yes it is very messy when it's work related. The best thing I was ever told about dealing with work stuff is "document everything, and get everything in writing if possible." that way you have proof if you need to go to a boss with a complaint.
Yes indeed. I’m just afraid the bullying is effecting my attendance, immune system, and positive outlook
Tried to have a fun day today but I was too into my thoughts and that just ended up ruining it. Had it triggered by something, which was being in a social environment surrounded by people talking to each other while I feel I can't talk to anyone all that much. Why is this the trigger? Because it's happened in the past, and probably childhood, and I guess it didn't sit well with me and it still doesn't. It completely took my mood away on top of bad habits that hurt my self esteem further. Then when I feel I talk a bit too much, I get no responses, so that's why I don't say a whole lot to begin with. That combined with worrying about being judged. Just a vent.
I’m doing ok but dang has this week been emotional! My mind is clouded by thoughts and I feel disconnected from my body sometimes because of them. My fiance, the love of my life, is off at a training so I cannot spend any time with him. I constantly feel I live in this state of sinning, and it’s especially been on my mind with Easter soon. I’m tired. I’m so tired of trying to be the perfect Christian, daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin, fiance but then again, no one in my family deserves any less from me. My family is a blessing. I’m two weeks away from getting a degree. I am a few months away from marriage. Yet somehow I know less about life than I did at 18. Well anyway…rant over…I hate how “oh woe is me” this sounds but there’s not enough words in this finite language that I could string together to encapsulate how I really feel.
Feels like I wanna act on the thoughts I’m stressed out
