Matt,

That was so beautifully well-put. Thank you so much for your advice. The way you explained my mind creating a sense of permanence around a certain feeling hit dead-on. I convince myself that that is how it’s always going to be. And i know it is only going to be that way just as long as I don’t do anything to change it. I will most definitely look into metta meditation. I hope to eventually stabilize my emotions, and not have every individual one be so extreme. I am realizing that this is going to take lots of time.

Thank you again for your help. It is so greatly appreciated.
