...See more recently i find myself comparing my life without even thinking about it. i was feeling anxious and i had a real like sit down with myself. I realized ive been feeling insecure and comparing myself(and every aspect of my life). i found myself being really unkind and mean to people around me, literally just because i felt insecure.(i did apologize to my fiancée once i realized whats been going on with me) and im insecure because i was subconsciously comparing myself to everyone. i recently went on vacation with a group of people. the time change, stress of traveling, maybe even the diet change, really messed up my hormones. since ive been home, my pms was so much worse, my period came early, heavy, and weird, and ive never been so bloated in my whole life. has anyone else every had a travel week mess up their hormones this much?

loneliness

...See more even though i deeply love my partner, i find myself so lonely sometimes. he seems to be much more invested in social media. i have a job where i work most of the day alone and that feels less lonely than coming home most days. i have childhood trauma that makes communicating feel like a burden. i find that writing down my feeling before talking about them is easier. reading is easier than talking. i also feel like im overthinking and being over dramatic about the whole thing. so i dont know whats going on. i think the first step i want to take is start practicing more self cate on the daily and to focus soo much more of my energy on myself. but the lonelines is so hard. thankfully i have my cats, they always make me feel loved.
