Do what I can but still have questions 3

I will now choose to let our goodbye ritual go and I am certain he will miss it. He can pursue me when he is ready to resume.

I am reading on WikiHow, How to gain control of your emotions. So much of it describes me. The challenge will be to feel the symptoms of emotional pain, figure out exactly which emotion I am experiencing, consider my options, and make a choice based on what I want the outcome to be.

I have never once been successful at this. Every time I suffer emotional trauma, my outward emotions take over and I can't calm down until they are all gone. Sometimes that does not happen until someone I care about intervenes (H, D, Gram, Dad, friend, etc) and helps me past it.
