Processing emotions
Mods - I wasn't sure where to put this, so feel free to move it
I am no longer "stuffing" my emotions and .... ho boy I came home upset about something that had happened and ranted/vented the other night - and I'm realizing that it's ok to "explode" (but at home), but that its ok to stand up for myself (which I had done) and while I was venting I even said my reaction was over the top/excessive But I'm feeling good - I put my needs/wants first - nicely (I think). I remembered years ago Grubby said she'd come out "guns blazing" after holding things in, and I was able to do a good job without losing it. ![]()

Re: Processing emotions
Go, snafu! Expressing yourself is healthy. I'm glad you are finally embracing that.

Re: Processing emotions
I've even ranted about how my NOSis ignored my needs in the past and how she's only ever listened to me a few times... that's its sad that I can count & remember each time on one hand and still have fingers left over

Re: Processing emotions
I'm standing up for myself, rather than letting things roll off my back (in one-on-one situations)
but I still need to work on what to do when someone throws (or shoves) me under the bus

Re: Processing emotions
I don't know. You would know best. Just somewhere that we could mouth off and not be attacked for strong and maybe unreasonable feelings. Probably some rules like no personal attacks on each other and no really foul language.
Purrs and Thank You |

Re: Processing emotions
chissus - start your own thread & vent away
I used to stuff my emotions and am now trying to encourage myself to process instead - but without going nuclear.

Re: Processing emotions
![]() well, when I told her I didn't quite catch what she said - she chose not to repeat herself ....humpfff ... this is the same person who has thrown me under the bus a few times. No one has the right to demand that I make demands on their behalf ...
