I'm all jitters and nerves from dealing with my parents coming over to help with the yard stuff. They're gone now, so in a couple hours I should calm down and stop flinching. Flashes of anger too, because I know it'd be pointless trying to explain any of this again. I'm diagnosed and medicated for that stuff, so it must be my problem.
It is your reactivity/hardwiring @Spiderallis ... a problem but certainly not your problem. Management? (other than meds) What are you doing for stress reduction?
@The Albatross funny you of all people should ask- my first tool is music, strongest tonic in my auditory apothecary is currently Echoes (the albatross) by Pink Floyd, the Pompeii 24 minute version. A few repeats of that song and some coloring should get me re-balanced and back to center.
Ah, Echoes... find it so immensely centering and soothing on many levels... I am the Albatross. Don't think I'm ever gonna out grow it... so are you maybe morphing into my sister? Never had one, so a soul/animus sister for me is quite fine. Glad you find it helpful. Music is the balm of my soul.
