Irritable

I hate complaining,

A gentle reminder you're talking about your days, Chava. That is not complaining. That's sharing, and advice seeking, and communicating well and other awesome things abusers can't for the life of them label straight.

Take care @Chava much respect to and :hug: if you will accept....... please keep sharing.

I actually did okay setting an important boundary today and also focused on my work and sticking with my own bubble when I could.

The middle of my chest hurts. Pinching bad. Is that heart burn? I don't feel panic. I know I'm not dying. Right? Damn it.

@Chava, no , no heart attack, but if you are like me, I just forget to BREATHE..... sounds like you had a better day.... awesomely proud of the effort and determination to not let anything or anyone at work send you down the rabbit hole.....
And like you, I am not 'warm and fuzzy' either..... usually the looks I give people lets them know they are very close to my last nerve.... that usually works.... sending you :hugs:

Yes! I am really not breathing well lately. But also, a couple Tums helped. No dying today! :woot:

Watching a funny movie, decompressing instead of melting down. Just scares me I tip over the edge out of nowhere lately...but good I feel well aware and scared of that because I think that healthy fear can hopefully catch me and help me not make disasterous decisions in the heat of a pissed off mind fire.

A Mind Fire... you have finally given a title to what happens when I go sliding over the edge of anger, not rage anymore, but anger... mind fire.... now I can warn others there is about to be a 'mind fire'.... thanks Chava.......... you did great today..... keep that in mind... and BREATHE....

Glad you stuck with your own bubble when you could. Personal space is SO important and some people are such space invaders these days! ! Just take everything one day at a time. Hang in there, you are doing great and I'm proud of you! ! :tup::happy:
