Feel the attack ?

Most days I feel content and very much a live in gratitude.

Yet an overwhelming feeling of despair fell upon me like a

tsunami Friday afternoon. How can this be , the feeling of being attacked by my own emotions. You know what I'm talking about? When your brain begins to tell you that you have no worth. No one really likes you and you are never going to make a positive difference in anyone's life.

I thought,, is this what most addicts think during the recovery process? Those thoughts win and bring them back to the place they are trying to get away from.

I am not nor have I ever been an addict but when God lets me see and feel something so extraordinary it's like having an aha moment . He just gave me a nugget to hold onto and share. Helps me to understand with empathy what others are going through. The pain, the sadness ,the feeling of inadequacy. How do reason with an emotion so strong, so overwhelming that you can't talk to anyone about it. Because it will make you look weak or at best human.

We are all human and life is to short. Everyone deserves love. So when you pass anyone on the street, at the store or a coworker in the hallway ,give them a smile, because they may have the tsunami. The feeling of negative emotions, and like this epidemic no one wants that.
