I gotta get my PS3 fixed.

PREDOMINANT said:

that you should... I don't have one of them... I got a PS2, Wii and a Xbox... it keeps me entertained *rocks up and down*

JaneyPoos said:

I still have the PS2, but wireless handsets make it so much more relaxing to kill people.

they're just so strong and uncontrollable, I may do things I regret, especially in the workplace where emotions are frowned upon. But then again, it's important to concede to my own truth which is a truth, after all. It's a fine line. But if emotions were not so pesky, I would not have these kinds of problems.

heartbeatocean said:

Sometimes a huge part of the problem of emotions is

" trying to control them "

we have them for a reason and learning to allow ourselves them and express them in positive way is a huge weight off the shoulders of our inner control freaks

heartbeatocean said:

Huh?

Sister, my couch is open



But I too, need help in managing my inner control freak!

like not being a fake and phony person, you know, agreeing with everyone else, saying yes just to please

(this is probably right off the track )

I feel ya. I totally have anger issues. The sad part is how much effort I put in to control as much as I can.

Anyway, I've tried meditation, self help books, actual therapy, aromatherapy (right now I have lavender, rosemary, and clary sage oil in my little oil burner), massage, exercise, venting, Ambien, writing a journal and such. Websites like coping.org/LIVEstrong, and strss-anxiety-depression.org.

But I can't cope with stupid people. I just can't. Now I have high blood pressure and IBS. And sometimes I'm just so fucking miserable.

So yeah, I feel ya

I truly wish I didn't give a fuck. Sometimes it's like I care too much.

ps. kids do not help, lol.

And neither does my loud ass annoying cat!

Mach said:

*in a positive way* is the key phrase here

Ace said:

Hi Ace. I always feel flattered when you engage me in conversation.

What I meant to say is that strong emotions indicate something very real, emotionally real. They're not fictional in and of themselves. The key is to find the source of them, the root from which they arise.

In my own case, I have to be careful to at least acknowledge them (even if I don't understand them or want them around). And if they are that strong, it's time to honor them by finding a way to express them even if I'm afraid of making a fool of myself. make sense?

ZombieKitten said:

yeah, it's kind of about that. It's about expressing something that you're afraid will shake things up and go against the grain, which can be pretty darn scary.

I should have orgnoted you in the heat of the moment! I was in a bit of panic.

heartbeatocean said:

This is totally a part of my school! I am angry because... I am upset because... Anger and being upset are only the surface. What is the emotion and the issue that elicits that response, what is at the root? That's the real key. If you can get to that part, examine and process it fully and see it differently you are able to disempower that emotion the next time it tries to rise

That's quite a program . I also have quite a large toolbox of coping mechanisms such as yours. I do get anger flashes though, with a couple people in my life, and that scares me. At those moments, all practices seem to fly out the window.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't know if org therapists are going to do it for me , I might need to hire a professional.
