The challenge of 1 step forward and two steps back in healin

Even though I don’t have a partner to have issues with….sometimes I find it difficult to deal with “others” who have strong opinions and emotions.  I cannot tell if it is an empath thing, am FA thing or just a me thing….but I feel my journey keeps veering off path.  When I think….what would a secure person do?  I feel so far behind the eight ball…even with medication and therapy.  I keep going back to that little me who could not do anything right and was told by my psychiatrist dad that I was “this close to normal”.  I am not big into pity parties but sometimes it is like a dam just breaks and I just end up emotionally drained.  Thankfully writing this down helps and I will get back into the groove of things…but I just wanted to put this here for anyone else who might feel alone in their journey.
