*Gentle hugs* Hun I think it's understandable the way you feel. Has anything set off these feelings for you? Can you try and do something to relax and calm yourself a bit? Like read nice book or go for a walk or do some writing/drawing.

Katie my lovey, I'm very sorry that you are feeling so affected by this.
I know I would be too.
Yeah, it is "lucky" as they put it, to have a job, especially in this day & age(recession & all), but you're very right, it does not mean everything in your life is a bowl of cherries.
Try to remember they were just meaning in regards to your job, not your entire life.
I do think comments like that can have a very bad effect on us because so many of us here have had such unlucky, awful lives, & when someone says that you are lucky, you feel invalidated, down played, & very angry/upset, sometimes even vulnerable too.
It's completely understandable you feel this way honey, and I am here for you, we all are.
Please do keep talking to us, let it all out.
This will pass, it will feel better eventually, you just gotta get through this & you will, you'll feel all these strong emotions for a while, but they will die down soon.
Thanks so much.... your replies really help. I'm at work right now, and my lunch break is nearly over, so I can't reply in depth right now.
There's elements of another thread that're connected that're also stirring things up, so it's a double whammy.
I'll come back to this later.
And anyone who reads and responds to my posts in response to these threads, can they be aware that this is a major trigger and insecurity thing for me, and I'm not trying to be awkward or whatever.
