3) Not having a loving partner
4) Not feeling that I can depend on my siblings

My job…not having finished school…the thought of not seeing him for a few weeks…Loneliness over the holidays…lack of interest in anything right now.

1. Having a feeling that I’m incomplete.
2. Believing that there is such thing as completeness, and therefore incompleteness.
3. Knowing that such feelings are a matter of perspective, but the frequent lack of an ability to make the required perspective shift.
4. Knowing that there is no list of conditions that could erase this feeling, but unable to shake the habit of mental list-making.
5. Contemplating my feelings of incompleteness while I’m waiting for my kids to get their PJs on so we can play a game.

@chyna That first one is tough for me, but I still take comfort in lighting a candle and placing a Birthday/Mother’s Day card near her pic :)

@tinyfaery Id like to laser eye surgery so my sight is SUPERSONIC!!

@JLeslie If you don’t mind my say so, not having children doesn’t make you less of a woman (((BIG HUGZ))) Im sure your a wonderful person.

@ ZEPHYRA Lack of mental balance/peace is important to move forward in life.

@UCME How about Periwinkle?

1. Losing my creativity.
2. Losing my curiosity.
3. Losing my imagination.
4. Losing my humor.
5. Losing my enthuiasm

Clutter in my house
Unhappy at my job
Unhappy in my marriage
Depression
Anxiety

We all experience these some of these things, when you experience them in multiples it really sucks.

My lack of self-confidence is enough to make me feel incomplete.

1. Barely scraping by each month financially
2. My mother being terminally ill
3. My siblings all getting older/ill/dying
3. My PTSD/Bipolar Disorder
4. Being terribly overweight/not fit
5. Not being able to see clearly (I know, I need glasses…must go to the eye doc)

I am complete. Sure I have lots of shortcomings and things in my life I wish were better. But I do not feel incomplete.

Although I am not the OP of this love!y question, thank ýou everyone for such heartfelt answers. You guys help some of us realize we are not alone in fighting the rough waves.

@ARE_you_kidding_me I need to steal your statement regarding clutter in your house. That is a big deal for me right now too.

1. Not getting my book finished ( almost there though).
2.Three book drafts sitting in drawer to be edited etc need to get too soon.
3.Never really travelled far, but would like too, but for research reasons.
4. To do extensive family History research to answer questions our family has of a missing relative in the past.
5. Better communication with family that is centered on the positive side.
Realize that some things are not in our control but others can be straitened out somewhat.
As long as the effort is there, you have done your part. That is that you are the solution not the problem.
