  • I once managed to trip over a 5 cm metal ledge that I only noticed when I kicked into it while walking into a parking garage.

    I fell over, fell on a knee that was just healed after another less stupid fall and scraped both hands badly too when I tried to break my fall.

    So stupid!

    Oh and it was after a concert and there were a lot of people present just watching me get up, crying in pain.

    So it was my most embarrassing one too.


  • There definitely is a difference. A gut feeling aka intuition comes without emotion. It just is like a knowing something for sure but not knowing why.

    I trust my gut feelings implicitly. My emotions? Not so much. Emotions are always fleeting. There one minute, gone the next. Anxiety replays old fears time and time again.

    When I think about or see rollercoasters for instance, I immediately am afraid. When I ask myself why, I remember instantly what I felt when I had an asthma attack in the middle of a rollercoaster ride. That fear replays as something new but isn’t.

    I’ve read a lot about emotions and emotional wellbeing, I guess that’s why I’ve learned to tell the difference


  • When I look back on my life, I always regret things I did out of fear or anxiety or any other emotions.

    Trusting my gut, however, always led to the best for me in the long run.

    In your case, did you follow your gut when heading home?

    Also, your gut feelings are maybe muddled by emotions about the breakup, which is logical.

    So give yourself some time to weigh your options and let your family and friends help you as well?
