do you ever feel a sense of doom?

I think it goes back to when I was little, before I was adopted. But I think it is constantly hindering my relationships with friends, family, etc. I don't know how to surpass this feeling of doom though. I always feel like I'm going to be abandoned, alone in this world. Its a constant feeling that never seems to let go. (just to let you know I was abandoned by my biological mother, on the third try it worked) and wah la I'm here...I don't know I was hoping you guys could give me feedback, how to get beyond this gridlock which keeps bringing me down.

My boyfriend and I had a discussion about his fear the other night . He is also adopted and his birth mother tries to be part of his life - but she overstep her boundary - that's another story in itself. Anywho - he was talking about that - how he is afraid of being alone and his biggest fear is that he would end up alone and homeless..feeling like he was doomed. He said a lot has to do is for the fact that he was adoptive - His parents (the people that adopted him) are amazing and wonderful and he loves them very much ....But he goes through the same feeling...He needs the reassure that everything is going to be ok.

You honestly went through a lot growing up so it's understanding that you have those feelings -but think to the positives that you have a great life now and you have people who love you and you will be successful in whatever you put your heart to.....I always tell him that.

Hope this helps...

I've heard a lot of adopted children say that they always feel out of sorts...like something's not right...

Hang in there...maybe there's an adopted support group or something out there?
