Mood: Happy
]
♫ So I caused some drama around here. I'm really sorry about all that. I was going through a really hard time and I wasn't handling well. I overreacted to something stupidly insignificant. I should have used different words, perhaps not even responded to that at all.
If I act in a hostile manner, its because I'm going through a difficult time and I am unable to cope with it. Could be depression or stress, usually a combo of the two. I don't lash out solely because I'm pissed off. When all I am is pissed off, I may fume for a while and be irritable, but I keep to myself. Add depression and/or stress, and that's when shit hits the fan.
There's two ways to calm me, one is kind, the other is not. The kind way to calm me is to ask what's going on in my life that I am unable to fully cope with.
The unkind way to calm me is to show me that you care - its the fail-safe interrupt, causing me to halt whatever I'm doing and break out in tears. I'll cry for 30-90 minutes, and for a few hours I'll be focused on the fact someone cares, and by that time I'll forget what it was that pissed me off. Nobody knew that before, so that didn't happen, and shit spiraled out of control.
Seems strange I typed all this up in a happy mood. Thank the prozac I'm on for that. ♫♥
