Hi, sweetie: I believe that ALL of our feelings are important, and we need to feel ALL of them, in order to know ourselves, or to heal....it is never a waste of time to think or feel........matter of fact, I believe it is necessary; feelings are all we have to go on to know ourselves.......If we ignore feelings, they show up in other ways-----physical problems (100's of different ailments); as we all have heard, stress kills. i did some research (being that i counsel women who are being abused, and consider myself an "expert' in verball abuse.....the amazing thing is that our brain chemistry/cells....LITERALLY change as a result of long-term stress.......My brain must look like a Rorscharch (think that's the way you spell it) test!!! A lifetime of abuse (except for 3 years in the army!), but hey, I am so resilient (good thing; or I would be drooling in a corner, somewhere).....Feel your feelings, sweetie......smetimes it is so painful, but necessary to good mental health. Hugs n grins, Allison----and......CELEBRATE life (I try hard to do that) ; still healing after 31 years of abusive marriage; but SMILING (delusional? LOL, LOL)
