I grew up in an unstable household, there was always fighting, so I always just kept my feelings to myself so as not to cause problems or drama.
my boss was not listening to what I was saying the other day
so I just walked away from him & sent him an e-mail later.
the next day he shows up with a box of candy for me and an apology.
I am going to try to not stuff my feelings down and not deal with them.
from now on, I am going to start telling people what hurts me, what makes me happy, and what pisses me off.
It worked with my mom too.
I e-mailed her, told her why I was hurt & she apologized.
I also e-mailed my brother and told him why I was hurt.
He called me with some half-assed apology and then hung up on me.....
so that didn't go so well, but he knows what he did was wrong and inconsiderate.
I have to make a conscious effort to not stuff my feelings down.
I have been doing that for 30 years, so it is not going to happen overnight, and I need to be patient with myself.
But that is my goal, to not keep all of my feelings inside and to let people know how I feel.
Sounds so simple, right?
new or worsening depression, anxiety, or panic attacks; agitation; restlessness; angry or violent behavior; acting dangerously; feeling that people are against you; feeling confused?
I think I may have to try some of these recipes.
THANK YOU modern medicine!
without you I would be dead about a gagillion times over.
