ConfusedParticipantYes thats how i am thinking in the past couple of days.. She is so loving and kind and happy, that makes me happy too sometimes and i can have some warm feelings back for a while.
I like how u frame that, i hadn’t thought like this, mostly been focusing on how I feel 🙂
ConfusedParticipantI am trying to not act based on my feelings (which are very down atm, almost anhedonia) and rather act on my values and what i was feeling before, because they say feelings follow actions.
Yes that’s how i feel for everyone sort of.. Well, its complicated haha, sometimes i act like a mirror which is not good i know, but mostly ill be myself.
ConfusedParticipantIt’s like i owe her (or anyone for that matter), the same kindness, enthusiasm, creativity and all those things that i might not have.
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
Yes i feel like that too, i’ve learned to earn love, not to be given freely so now i feel weird/unsettled.. Its sad because it makes me feel like now i “owe” the other person something.
Yes kinda like that, because my feelings are eluding me right now (maybe what im referring to as “feelings” is the intense infatuation of the honeymoon phase though), that i wont be able to keep up and be good for her, and i’ll hurt her.
ConfusedParticipantIf u mean intense anger, i can barely remember, its been more than 10 years..
I mostly feel frustration rather than anger.Damn, i opened her present and i read her letter, she says that she hasnt stopped thinking about me since the day we started talking (i havent either) and that the way she feels about me scares her. I am crying so much right now because i feel terrified of how she feels about me, that im gonna hurt her and disappoint her eventually, because i can’t feel what i was feeling before all this started. I feel like im leading her on and i cry, i feel like i dont deserve her. What did i do to deserve such a kind and loving soul?
ConfusedParticipantI couldnt login either,its a forum problem i think.
I almost never get angry, its like a rare emotion for me.
ConfusedParticipantHaha, it depends on who i choose to show what part
Sometimes, they tell me i look distant-composed, but most of the time i feel robotic, i can’t be happy or enthusiastic with almost anything, when people around me are happy and elated it feels like i’m faking myself sometimes, other times i might feel a bit of joy for a short while, but nothing like the others.
Yeah i think i do but it’s not possible, or at least this is what im learning now, we have to go by action probably.
Sometimes it feels blank sometimes no, it feels warm 🙂
ConfusedParticipantMaybe it’s because u get the backline-story, how i think, cry and care..but to almost everyone out there, i am cold & distant.
Yes exactly, otherwise it feels blank/empty.
ConfusedParticipantThank you very much anita! 🙂
But i do feel like a bad person in the past 4-5 months..Like im ungrateful 🙁
I guess i doubt whatever i cant know for sure yeah, its like my mind cant accept anything if i dont feel it for sure
ConfusedParticipantHey anita, i imagine of that day too..
I had thought about all this and i talked to the previous therapist about some of those but she had told me that it’s not because of that. Also, since we’ve started talking about the visit and starting checking for places to stay (like a week before my shutdown), every night before i sleep, i would think of my fear of planes/flying and i would get anxious/panicked before i sleep thinking about the flight, i remember this was bothering me a lot but idk..
Now, she sent me many beautiful and heart-warming wishes for my b-day yesterday, she also sent me a package gift. Damn, i cannot get excited at all for neither! (i had always been like that with everyone though my whole life, but i didnt want it be like that with her too)
I cried reading at her wishes, she is such an amazing, kind and loving soul.. why did that have to happen to me with her out of all people? Damn i feel so bad 🙁
ConfusedParticipantHey anita!
Well today has not been good, it stopped working but i am trying to work through it 🙁
Sadly yes, it does fit very well, i tried to explain it to her a little bit but its a tough topic to bring up. And today i did analyze a lot 🙁
ConfusedParticipantI am trying to do just that in the past two days and i think its kinda working?
Feels weird tho to do everything without feelings
ConfusedParticipantYeah when i told her about that convo and how her words sounded at that time she said “well ofc i would consider moving to greece, i wouldn’t let u take the whole weight by yourself” but that didn’t do anything for me at the time, maybe i was still triggered.
Well marriage isn’t in our priorities, idk about children. Personally im not a big fan but my father disagrees hahaBefore all this? I was over the moon in the idea of her moving here, but that was a premature fantasy of mine, now i feel numb. I mean, i suppose we would have a great time and do things, but nothing gives me joy unfortunately now 🙁
ConfusedParticipantYes i am trying to break it these days by not paying too much attention and focusing on other things. But when i do that i feel like i will forget about her and its so weird! Ive never been in this position before 🙁
Haha i havent thought about it like that anita, but if that was the case, i would be fine after she told me that she will consider moving to me. I dont really care about marriage, her neither.
Happy easter to you too 🙂
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
I really dont remember being connected to her, its weird..
Haha i had this thing where i would wanna answer and help everyone too, now not so much.
Today was pretty calmer, my thoughts were like at 40% intensity instead of 150%. I was out for coffee with some friends and i was still thinking in the back of my head “do i like her? why am i not missing her? am i feeling enough? if she messaged me right now would i feel annoyed or not?”.
She did message me later asking me how my day was, when i saw the notification my stomach dropped for some reason, but i think i smiled a little, but i cant trust anything haha. It’s like my head has turned this amazing woman into a “problem to be solved” otherwise i can’t move on with my life. It’s like i refuse to do anything if my feelings don’t return, which is so annoying and unfair 🙁 -
