I’ve got into the habit of treating myself to a very small glass of rum and coke when my nerves get really rattled (OK. I only had two drinks in 3 weeks…I have no intention of becoming dependent on alcohol). It’s just that I’m dealing with a lot of work, a lot of people, a lot of social activities, and weird self-imposed emotional highs and lows these days… sometimes I just can’t take it. I feel guilty that I’m blunting out my feelings though. I can’t think of another way to handle the intensity of situations… Technically I should just feel my feelings rather than think them out. My anger, my hurt, my weaknesses and insecurities all work together to bring me down. What resources do I have to fight them?
