Truly -- that's one of the hardest things for me to get a grip on: there's no "supposed to" in feelings. If I feel this way, no one can tell me that I'm "not supposed to" feel this way. Feelings just ARE.
Now, ask me if that means I don't get to feeling cr@ppy because I'm "not supposed to" feel a certain way? hahahahahahaha! Yeah, right, that's a good one! Of course I still feel as though there's something wrong with me because I'm "not supposed to" feel whatever I'm feeling. But at least now I can remind myself that there are no "supposed to's" in emotions...
Hope that helps you. (Just, you know, don't leave me too far behind you in the dust by learning it too fast, 'K?)
