I know I have it in me to be calm, cool and collected but there's always this self sabotaging side of me that comes out. I think I'm still readying myself for the other shoe to drop so that when it does it won't hurt so bad.

Has anyone else experienced that? Do you find yourself holding your happiness back or purposely grinding yourself down so that when something does inevitably go wrong it won't hurt so much? I don't like that I do this, especially since things hardly ever go that wrong or that badly. Just stinks that when something does happen it justifies the way you feel and sort of keeps that check "in place".


This quote of yours describes my life to a "tee," and something I am desperately trying to change. I have terrorized myself with my thoughts, fears and anxieties, more than any real person or any real event has actually terrorized me in real life. You've got this! It will out work out just fine. Deep breaths and try to stay in the moment.
