I Realize That I

I realize now why my neighbor from across the street bothers me so much. The last time I saw her she told me again how "mad" she was over the same situation that bothers her so much.

I just had to call my cable company and after 30 mintues I was getting mad and it felt so uncomfortable for me even though I finally received a discount from them.

I realize that I just can't handle someone's anger, it scares me, and me becoming angry, also scares me.
 
I realize that I do not need to dig into 'the why' of all my cognitive distortions for a while. As my life is changing rather quickly, it is enough for me to notice my feelings & thoughts in the present, quietly be aware, give honorable mention and then return to the inner calm. When I am too emotional my rational mind can not function correctly to 'fix' the concern. I have been making myself emotionally worse by spinning my wheels and getting stuck in rumination. I need to take little steps, and take pride in little accomplishments as I work towards my goal.
 
I realise that I have ptsd and that I am different to a lot of people.
I realise that I do not respond well to other peoples anger.
I realise that I have difficulty expressing emotions such as sadness, joy, excitement.
I realise that mindfullness helps me to be calm, to relax and accept myself and others for being human.
 
I realize that I tolerate unhealthy situations that suck me in and I am going to be catching myself at getting me out of highly toxic situations. It is realty based and I am grateful that I am catching myself and reminding myself that I am not responsible for other peoples conflicts. I greatly desire to not be involved in any way and by setting boundries and remaining firm even if it means I have to become a broken record I will be practicing this.
