Hey Lauren,
Wow, thanks for sharing, that was a big message to share.
I'm really glad I noticed your message, as I have just recently gotten out of
my "victim four" mode. For me, I realized my "four" moods were being made
more extreme by a mild depression. I did a little research and found out my
symptoms were most likely caused by prolonged malnutrition or nutritional
deficiency. And I tell ya, I've been eating Corn Flakes for dinner for about two
years now. So anyway, I got a vitamin regimen going, cut out almost all
meat and completely cut out putting sugar in things (coffee, cereal, etc.), got
into raw fruits and veggies, and man but did things ever completely turn
around for me!!
So I really identify with your "healthy self-discipline" and was really grateful
to hear someone else with a similar story to mine. It's like I get to keep all
the best parts of being a four, like deep emotional bonds and a despair of the
mundane, but don't have to put up with the insane mood shifts, high drama,
and self-pity.
Best wishes to you in sorting out all the other things you mentioned in your
message. Keep diving down for the truth, it's what us fours do best.
