> When it comes to my sense of self, I don't know if I think about how I want to be so much as I think about how I want to feel. I think my sense of self is based on how I feel, and since I feel crappy pretty much all the time, then you can imagine what my sense of self is. Emotions rule the roost in this soul. Sometimes, they're moderate to neutral, but other times they're like a runaway locamotive. So thinking of creating a sense of here I am, no better no worse than what I am right now... doesn't do anything for me. Because what I am right now is a pile of cruddy, muddy feelings on the verge of tears.

> Thanks for the explanation though. Gave me something to think about. And even though I like Oprah, I don't watch her much b/c she's too much, she's too damn happy & positive. It's too much for me to handle.

>Hey Ren,
sorry you've got runaway/yucky emotions. I don't have many emotions that I'm aware of, so sometimes I envy you... Are there some things in your environment that you can act on to improve your emotional well-being? Can you find an activity to do that's soothing, or find comfort in calling a friend, reading a good book or watching a funny movie (there is a very funny movie out in the USA this weekend... Borat? is that his name?)Anyways, it's nice to meet you, and I wish I were feeling clever, but I'm kinda dumb today.
((hugs))
