I'm getting more and more irritated as the day goes on...totally hormonal, I can feel it.
I'm outta here then. Don't want to be caught accidentally as a gender-specific target or anything...
I am putting myself on a no-talk to H for 24 hours.
if he does, I'm going to the gym, no ifs, ands, or buts. going to sweat it out
Sounds like a good plan.
One more thing I'd add...
hopefully the few minutes I'll be around him will go quickly and the endorphin high will counteract everything else.
I saw two helpful strategies to deal with potentially emotionally charged situations that couldn't be avoided.
One was the old "count to ten (fifty, whatever) before responding so you get a chance to choose wrods carefully instead of impulsively.
The other was for people who less sure of ther ability to be restrained... Keep a bottle of water nearby, and everytime you're supposed to say something take a swig first. Then you can just hang onto it for as long as you like before speaking...
Take care,
