More things upset me now

[Grunty1967b]

It wasnt like this before, but now when I have a verbal argument or disagreement with somebody, it really upsets me like Im about to burst into tears. Before, I could just brush it off.

Ive had several run-ins with people this last week. Its all made me feel pretty yuk.

Huh.

Emotionally, we're running at 110% (if not more) now. The old Star Trek thing, "I'm givin' it all that she's got, Captain!" So when something comes up where we have to give more, the system just doesn't have any more to give. It's normal. As we work through some of the stuff, and the emotion level gets down to even 99%, then we have more to give. I was also told to get more rest, eat better, have some carbs, because what taxes the body emotionally also uses us up physically. I've found that true, too. I can deal with a little more if I get enough rest.

Don't feel weak at all, Aussie. The fact that you're dealing with all this and relying on your brothers here shows that you're incredibly strong.

Here, have some of my summer. Take care of yourself, bro.

when you start finally dealing with this, it is like your emotions all come closer to the surface for awhile. eventually it will kind of return to a more normal level, but only after you've kind of put everything into order again. in the meantime, try to be kind to yourself, and patient. remind yourself you are healing, and that is where the feelings are coming from. i always tried to focus myself on the possitives when i got bad.
