Hi, Vicki!
Not that you need this from me, having already heard from much better places that you are not alone in this but, I've been feeling an urge to chime in and am finally giving in to it...
No, you are definitely NOT alone! Robin and I have talked about this a couple of times just in the past couple of weeks. I guess maybe, as Judy says, we are all going in-and-out of this kind of thing lately... probably feeling so much desire to DO something and not being able to feel that we really are, as well as the sadness that people filled with 'light and love' just HAVE to feel in the midst of so much darkness/sadness surrounding. I know I have been completely overcome at times lately with the feelings of pain from/for others, among other no-doubt-related things.
And, during those times, my tendency is to withdraw... usually trying to send 'sunshine & smiles' (viz, light & love) to those around me, I find myself extremely uncomfortable thinking of sharing anything negative with anyone; so I don't.
Well, now, it seems that you feel the same and Robin feels the same and probably most of us feel the same, so we all go thru our private times of dealing with these 'downs'... which seems to me to indicate a couple of possibilities: we could all just realize this and understand one another's occasional disappearing acts; or, realizing this, we could conclude that maybe we should share with each other DURING those times, comforting, supporting, providing other points of view and otherwise helping each other THRU those feelings.
Now I'm not, necessarily, espousing the latter -- mostly because I don't even know if I could do it myself! It's not really a choice I make... it just happens... when I'm sad, I'm quiet... I just naturally don't -- can't -- talk about it. Maybe because growing up (in fact, til very recently!) there was no one to talk to... no one could understand the way I felt about things... I probably learned to keep things to myself. Fortunately, I figured out how to help myself, too... tho now I guess I understand that there were untold 'others' figurin things out with me all along!
Sorry... this was NOT supposed to get so long!
Anyway, what I've been thinkin since talkin to Robin about this and now reading these posts, is that maybe we should all be learning something from it. Whether it's just that we're not alone in bein that way... or, whether it goes a step further, learning that we don't have to be isolating ourselves and working so hard alone anymore (in this dimension) -- and, maybe, SHOULDN'T be... that's for some more enlightened than I to discern.
One more thing to add, tho... two separate thoughts popped clearly into my head during these meanderings, and they both seem to head toward the same idea... One is, as common knowledge goes, "misery loves company"... it seems to be true for most people... why are we so different? The other is something like, why do we offer ourselves so much less understanding than we are the first to give others??
Thoughts. . .? ? ?
Love to you, Vicki, and all... kathi
