ok, I haven't been on here in a while because of sooo much crap going on but I need some help. All of the sudden I'm COMPLETELY jaded about love and relationships. I was reading someone's blog today and they were gushing about their "love" and i started to literally feel indignant and grossed out. I see couples and I just roll mye eyes in disgust. This isn't "I wish I could have that" type of disgust...more like "I wish everyone who thinks they're in love would be removed from the earth".

Is this a phase or am I headed down a dark path?!

I think it shows a phase where you need to do more self care for you. I am not sure what that might be - but something that can give you a mental escape for a few hours each week. Maybe a good book or movie? Shopping? Being with friends? Stuff like that.

Hey sweetie! Ok, what's going on? :-)

Anything happen lately that might have triggered it? Or are you just over it for the moment? Try to decipher that but remember that it's OK to take time off and feel groessed and disgusted by relationships. Just ensure that you are feeling that way for healthy reasons and not something that is upsetting you, which could make you bitter. I agree with what Judy says. How much time are you taking for yourself? Where else are you feeling agitated? Work? Home? Kids? I am asking because it could indicate that you are unsatisfied with your life all around and maybe going into a depression phase.

Get back to me and let's see if we can find out the problem.
