PEI..I'm having a bit of a day today..nothing really catastropic happens, but tears keep squeezing out. I haven't cried for quite awhile. I'm so frustrated today. Did you ever feel like that for no reason and what did you do about it?
Oh god ... did I feel like that??? There was a time that was all I felt! And sweetie, it's far from 'for no reason'. I had to leave my desk more times than I could count, pull my car over because I couldn't see through the tears, hang up the phone mid conversation because I couldn't force words out ... there wasn't anything that didn't remind me of the current sitch. My advice? .... CRY. Get it out ... a great big bawling mess if that's what it takes. Punch pillows ... scream in the woods ... whatever it takes to release some of that emotion. Then .... stop. Breathe. Remind yourself that you need to feel but you do not need to be ruled by your emotions. It's hard, but it gets easier. It takes time, but you come around more quickly. It hurts, but the pain diminishes.
To steal from Coach ... you can handle it. Be kind to yourself.
Peace PEI
