becasue I am being all teary eyed for "no real reason" and if my partner catches me being like that he will be irritated and annoyed with me and that will make things bad between us and probably ensue in a fight or him distancing himself even more from, which is understanable I guess. no one wants to be around ->this<-
But that is what is making me feel vulnerable today
I feel depressed and constantly on the verge of tears. My heart aches physically at times and I am terrified as I don
Today I am feeling vulnerable because of the thoughts of not being where I want to be in life. I have one more semester of college left until I graduate, which I havent even registered. Even if I finished there wouldnt be a difference, I still dont know what to do with my life.

I don't either, and I already have a job. It's scary but somehow we gotta believe that our lives will lead somewhere, hopefully where we've always wanted to be.
Congress passed a tax bill that's going to screw my family when though most of the country hates it. If they won't listen to their voters we can't do anything to stop them from making awful decisions like this. I'm tired

@forcefulDime8382 Wear it for yourself in your own space first. If you fear even your family's judgement, wear it when they are not around untill you can make a clear decision if it works for you (without their influence)
I was sick with mono, dealing with painful thoracic scapular dysfunction, then had my bestfriend pursue, convinced her to break up with me, after he decided to owe me $130... I feel vulnerable because I was completely betrayed by my best friend and my girlfriend all at once.
Because I'm not good enough and I can't do anything right. Because I'm useless
@Hajuren
I feel this way too. But we gotta believe there's more. Sometimes our feelings are not reality.
..because i feel like nothing again. Realised how small and meaningless i meant to the world and felt even emptier than before. Was blatantly ignored by someone i cared for, felt like another stab. Seeing the truth about this ugly selfish side of me that wants people to acknowledge my feelings makes me feel vulnerable. Worst of all that no matter how hard i try to express myself,it is brushed off simply
I feel vulnerable today because well, my close friend bought me a SUPER EXPENSIVE present (it suits me well i must say) and i am super grateful.. but i am also super broke, and he refuses to tell me what he wants. I have known him for about a year now, so i bought him something for more.. sentimental value? When i had my phone we would text each other all the time - about xenomorphs. So, i bought him a xenomorph plush. He is 15. I feel like it sucks, but i hope he likes it anyway.
Dear Hope, I hope your friend likes the gift you've chosen. I would try not to worry about it (much easier said than done, I know). Sometimes I like gifts or I keep the gift more because of who it is from or because I know at least in part their intention behind the gift. You know, like the person thought of me and what I might like AND that this person wanted to show his/her love for me through the gift. I'm not sure if that helps you in your situation, but I hope it might. Have a Merry Christmas hug! :) Platy
@HopelessDynamic
The holidays mean a long time in rooms or cars with people (relatives, family, people). I could break down any time.... I can
@Andl Find a small totem, like a charm on a bracelet or even a shell in your pocket, something that brings you peace and brings you back to yourself. Get into a habit before even going to your family, of taking deal breaths and thinking about the things that ground you and feel how the totem object grounds you. We all need anchors in a hurricane ;)
@Tamali114 I love everything you said. Will try it.
