Very understandable feelings.

Here's a quote from my Teacher Adi Da, from an essay, THE SECRET OF HOW TO CHANGE:

"The tendencies and patterns of your earlier adaptations are not wrong. They were appropriate enough in their own moment of creation, and there is no need to feel guilt or despair about them. Likewise, efforts to oppose and change them are basically fruitless. Such efforts are forms of conflict, and they only reinforce the modes of egoic "self-possession".

What is not used becomes obsolete, whereas what is opposed is kept before you. Therefore, the creative principle of change is the one of relaxed inspection and awareness of existing tendencies, and persistent, full feeling orientation to right, new, regenerative functional patterns"


Not sure if that has any relevance to your situation, but if it does, good.

Namaste!
