Doubts, fears and second guessing is all part of human nature. The rougher part, but still has to be faced and dealt with along with the good, happy emotions.

--When you feel like giving up due to these emotions and fears, what keeps you going?
--Have you ever given in to these feelings and insecurities?
--What do you do when you are too tired to fight for yourself?
--Has anything positive ever happened due to these emotions?

What keeps me going? Well, sometimes, nothing does, and I quit whatever it is. Sometimes, I keep reminding myself of how glad I'll be that I powered through, once I get to the end of it. Sometimes, my partner encourages me. Sometimes, I can find a way to take a break from it and come back.

When I'm too tired to fight for myself, I either ask my partner for help, or I spend time with my birds, or I go take a long bath with a good book--and maybe a glass of wine or a good chocolate bar, too.

What keeps me going is knowing that it will pass. I try and sort my feelings out. If I can't, I call a friend. 99% of the time that works. I can't give up because I'm confused or overwhelmed. I keep going for my son, my husband, and for myself. Even if I wanted to throw my hands up, and give up, I'm still stuck with myself. Self-reflection is one of the only things that keeps me going. That and having a support network.

Positive? I know myself better. I know when I need to avoid certain situations. Even if someone else upsets me, I have the power to control my tongue (I have a sharp one). Having a closer connection to friends because I reach out when I'm in trouble (emotional). No matter what, if I reflect on what has happened, I learn from it.
