There's that and the whole BTDT with my friends who lived on their extreme emotions...I know I can do it,,,but they are my kids darnit...

Feeling unloved and unwanted.

panic is number 1 for me

after that, it would be a sense of helplessness

Helplessness

I deal with chronic pain & have faced my own mortality (comes with having serious health issues), I'm not one to panic, and am the saccharinely sweet overly optimistic person most people want to bop on the head. The worst thing I've dealt with is loss. Nothing is as bad as the sorrow and emptiness that comes with the death of a loved one. :(

For me loss and helplessness go together - you feel so helpless when you loose someone the 2 worst feelings in the world

lonliness or being left out

For me, the worst feeling is when I realize that I've done something wrong, but it's too late for me to do anything about it, especially if it affects other people, and when I need to own up to it and face the music. The feeling is a mix of guilt, worry, confusion, and a sinking feeling like the ground has disappeared from underneath you. It doesn't matter if it was completely accidental, I still get the same feeling of "Why did you do that?" "How do you explain?" "How can you make it up to whomever you've hurt/inconvenienced?"

I get that feeling sometimes too, the worst part is having the memory of it and replaying the feeling over and over...it drives me crazy sometimes.

The worst feelings.....

To me, the worst feeling would be helplessness, when events happen and youre powerless to change them.

A close second is guilt, when you know you have wronged someone, and you are left to live with the feeling of guilt and shame.

Gonna go eat some cookies now.... :(

It is so neat knowing so many good people have the same feelings and thoughts I do. This is a great thread and I have to admit, it came at a good time! We are all made of Stars!

Thank you all for being company to my misery. Hope everyone had a great day today! :)

Found this thread via vesper's sister thread. I would say hopelessness. That is how I feel when I have that panic moment or like everything is spinning out of control. Going to go answer in the other thread now...

The feeling of being unwanted and helpless.

I felt way for a long time.
