What Made You Angry Today?

[Chimera]

My ex.
Every weekend that he makes plans with my kids it seems that he is telling each one different things and changing plans with one and the other has no idea...then the kids start arguing, name calling (HUGE no no) and both end up angry and divided. And staying here.
I've taken nothing out for supper nor do I plan too.
This happens each and every time since we moved in to this apartment.
Honestly, I believe he is doing this on purpose, he's done it before, trying to pit them against each other...
I could just throat punch him.

Something in 1998.

Two weeks of something.
That & the fact I'm apparently not smoking, so I need to figure some other coping mechanisms.

Yesterday.

Suck it up it's yesterday.
Just need to figure what about interacting with them was a stressor, and then remove it for the next time.

My work.

I have off duty days for today until Thursday. ...off duty days are only available when the duty allows it. My group leader called in sick and so my boss called and told me that I would have to come to work. :banghead: It's a common way to prolong your vacation without having to take too many vacation days... I told him that I've got already appointments on Thursday - so we agreed that I will have to come tomorrow...:blackeye:

Two week vacation, two week no work...hahahaha....

 

[Ronin]

Abusive uneducated shitheads criticizing my art, without doing a thing, themselves.

No, that my head is stuck in another country with far more dangerous, and the same uneducated, shitheads.
Loneliness. Pain. Depression. A myriad of other things.
If you're going through hell, keep goddamn going.

I have a bad startle response. (A lot of us do, of course.)

My former mentor at work often tries to provoke it. At first I thought he was just bad at respecting boundaries (although that may be an additional problem) but then he told me he was going to keep doing that until I "got over it."

I told him to please not touch me anywhere near my neck because that provokes memories of being strangled.

Yeah, so, that didn't work. My brain got to relive being strangled every week or so. I never got better. Thus I was stupid.

This is the same guy who let his kids say I was stupid. "Ava's kind of stupid, isn't she?" she said, not addressing me but her father, even though I was right there. He just nodded.

The consensus was that I am very stupid except I'm good technically. Otherwise I'm really dumb.

I get angry at these memories now. This is an improvement, because I used to think they were right.

The people who tell me they have PTSD because they have a panic attack. Or that something triggered them. Almost all my teenaged son's friends that are girls "have" PTSD. It is trendy and it annoys me.

 

[Ronin]

It is trendy and it annoys me.

Only over in the US.
But boy, do I get the annoyance. :rolleyes:

Edited to add: Not meaning to be dismissive of your experience at all!
Snarking local lack of knowledge in that comment.
In the spirit of 'Somewhere, not enough knowledge arrived to for people to take that diagnosis as something trendy'.

I'd report the hell out of them when you're out of that job (I understand quitting may not be an option, for the jobs availability right now and a myriad of personal reasons and all.)

Abusive pricks.

He quit a while ago, I quit more recently. Things were kinda terrible. I used to visit him a lot, but now I don't, because I got tired of being called stupid, mostly, and also because once therapy calmed down the startle response somewhat he took all the credit. For a long time he was my only friend. "Friend", ha.

Yeah, abusive prick indeed. He's lucky I don't actually have a worse startle response. Or rather, I'm lucky, I have no doubt the company would have fired me for assault.

What made me angry today: Destruction of one of my safe spaces & way insistent ghosts of the past someone should have shot down when they had a chance.

Nevermind. Rebuild & Regroup.
