I too have struggled, we all do at one time or another. For me, memorizing and quoting scripture help. Praise music and teachers such as Joyce Meyer help me to contine transforming my thinking. By the way, your letter, my dear, for the 10 favorite things is "J". You put into words beautifully what sooo many women go thru.

You are a wonderful person with such a big heart and so much to give and that is why you tend to people please. It is so not a bad trait until you start neglecting yourself, and as we both know it is easy to do. I think you need to be less hard on yourself, allow yourself to feel and be a little selfish and know that you can ask for the Lord to help you in any way that you need Him to. As far as Brian goes, he loves you and I think he may not know how to help you when you come to him, and maybe that is his way of not feeling like he is letting you down, avoidance in a way. I don't want you think that I am making excuses, just trying to think of the reasons that Brian may be reacting that way. You have to let him know that you NEED to be deep with him, that you need him especially on an emotional level. He may not be aware... God is always there for you, always listening, and always providing guidance even when you seem closed off. Talk about it to whomever you can... me :) or anyone, and maybe by doing so it will help you feel more comfortable and accepting of your feelings and what you need and from who. It is okay if you aren't perfect, pleasing everyone is NOT your job and allowing yourself to be true to you is not only acceptable but necessary. You are the only other person than Charles that I can go to with anything and get honest feedback and an attentive ear, and sometimes I do talk to you first and seek your advice on how to deal with something before going to him. I do that because I need a "practice run" if that makes sense. I know that you are going to be sensitive to my feelings but also honest and you help me find the best way to present my feelings or even work through the ones that aren't really relevant to the situation. I am here for you always, and I hope that some of this will help you. You are entitled to all of your feelings and to having the relationship you need with God, that you define, not by what someone else thinks it should be. And with Brian, you have to let him in and let him know how important it is to you to be able to share everything from superficial to extremely deep. He will be there for you, I know it! I will stop going on and on. Love you tons! While there are always better ways to process your feelings, sometimes the perfect or right way isn’t the way you expect, kwim?

I haven't done that in a couple of years...not that I'm perfectly aware of my emotions, but I've worked a lot on not letting them control me (but at the same time recognizing that I have them). Journaling has helped me a lot, as has praying. When I feel blue or unsure, or whatever, I bring it to God in prayer. It really is a constant giving over my emotions to God.
