Hi Midnightstar,
This is what I have come up with and for myself. I am not implying this is about you.
Feelings are normal; however, they are not real. We change every second of ever day and it happens slowly. We have feelings of permanence, which is not real. Resistance to change causes the feeling of pain. Allowing change to be welcomed reduces pain and suffering. Doing something new and different is scary, if it is the right direction then bravery is being scared and doing anyway. Feeling fake is not real, it is a way our minds resist change.
