Something tragic recently happened in my life that made me take life easier for the past 2-3 weeks. I’m talking stoic calm. I was meditating constantly, and keeping my emotional state stable. I went out with girls and my frame was almost unbreakable. i honestly felt I could handle the good and the bad and not allow my emotions to be affected by others or circumstances.

Somehow that flipped today. Not sure what happened. I kept trying to breath and meditate but I still feel “down”. I’m comparing myself to others again and worrying. I’m judging myself, and complaining about my life. Before I was accepting the obstacles and simply finding ways to jump over them... Now I am back to the self-pity, victim mentality thing.

Does this happen to anyone. Any thoughts on how to keep your frame under control even during tough circumstances?
