Just Wondering

[jazzy_dave]

Have you done anything stupid and regretted it later?

Has something or someone made you so mad that you have, metaphorically, exploded?

What techniques do you use to stay calm?

Yes. Sadly, I regret buying this house.

Yes. An old fried accused me of just using her for her car. We had been friends for 24 years and I put up with a ton of self centered crap...and suffered through being her Maid of Honor at her wedding and the rest of the bridal party was all children so I had to pay for everything. I did this because we were friends... and helped her with house stuff, job stuff, listened to husband woes...so when she hit me with that I exploded. I was at work and it was a nasty email. I walked away as I was insulted to my core. I have taken myself to Emergency Wards by train rather than ask anyone for a ride. To this day I have to really trust someone to take a ride from them.

I went to cognitive behavior therapy to help with a neurological condition I have and I find that avoiding things that stress me out before it can happen is the best. Breathing exercises dont really help and while diving into ice cream may work, it is not healthy. The best thing is to go out and try and be with other people.
