Feeling my feelings
Permalink  

I am the kind of person who throws themself into work when things get hard. I don't even do it purposely, I just want to keep busy so that I am always around people/friends. Things seem to be moving in a scary direction because for the first time I am taking control of my life and responsibility for my own happness. My exAbf has been calling/texting night and day and I finally respnded by telling him that he needs to respect me by leaving me alone because I am really upset with him. I started writing an email to him...just a draft. I wrote and wrote and wrote my little heart out and all my feelings came out. It felt good just to get it all out. I don't think Im going to send it to him, but I think Im going to pull it up when I do decide to talk to him because usually I get so flustered and upset that I forget what I wanted to say in the first place. I suggest that anyone who has a lot of anger or sadness because of their loved one, they write them a letter/email that they don't send. It just gets out all your emotions and allows you to feel your feelings without a huge explosion

I love writing and I often write my Husband letters when he has upset me, or I feel that I need to talk to him, but I'm worried I will get upset and be unable to get my point across. Although I usually read him the letter as he has dyslexia and finds it hard to read, but it is still a good way for me to communicate with him at times.
I also write a journal and poems which helps me to deal with my emotions by getting them out.
