I'm starting to notice my insane reaction to disappointment. I've cut off a friendship recently and literally have been having screaming fit or crying hysterically over not feeling considered or important to people. I think this was my problem all along but it just seem while the feeling may be accurate, my expression is ridiculous. Anyone else have this problem?
What's your sign? And yes I have these issues as well. I think it comes from being tired of being let down so often and taking it cause you don't want to say anything. I also call it the awakening phase where you realize that you have taken enough. It passes, but it sure hurts for that period. You'll start cutting out a lot of people not worthy... it'll open you up for good people. Take your time and access your emotions.

Haven't seen you for a long time but haven't you been ok before?

Is it happened recently out of blue?

I remember telling my daughter - imagine I am your boss and identity not going to STFU - paycheck is a history!

Though I can't say I am calm and rational.

But I am old and working for myself.

You've got to try self control...OR Xanax!

This is what you are going through. Its like you go through fire to get refined which makes you resilient.

Its gets better with time.....

Take space from stressful situations to re-energize and vent

You will eventually gravitate towards balanced people who wont drain you.

I'm a Pisces sun, Leo moon, Libra rising

I've been trying my hardest to work on my health, family and relationship.

I became a vegetarian and happily turned 40 this year

My daughters continue to strive at school and I'm bracing my oldests sophomore year of high school and learning to drive

Work is going really well and picked up more hobbies in rehabbing furniture for staging.

My long distance relationship is showing me parts of myself I never paid attention to because I had proximity. We are taking things so. The girls are softening to him and while he's confused about fatherhood; he's trying. He's coming down this weekend to spend time with them and I'm coordinating the gift for him they've requested. While all of this sounds even keeled, I'm obsessive, unhappy and angry. I think I do all this stuff to distract myself from how lonely and bored I really am. The men in my vicinity are tempting with their offers but I'm faithful to idk what. I'm having a hard time separating my feelings for their father. Talking to him is annoying because he views everything as an accusation so I just bide my time and shut down
