than anger. although they seem like cousins. this is one of my challenges to work with what seems to me a sense of overstimulation that i feel at times at work or at home. it’s like I have these internal rhythms, and if I don’t get time to withdraw and regroup, I get eaily annoyed. then I try to contain it, but most everyone can read my moods quite easily. so it’s almost silly for me to try to override my crankiness….... I guess what I am trying to do now is identify these times and try to seek out solitude to let it pass. when I’m not stressed or overwhelmed, my resiliency comes back.
