So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

@utopia,
all of us are capable of anger, just as we are all capable of sadness, joy, grief and the full gamut of human emotions. It does not mean you are turning into a b*tch.... it just means that you are human.
Anger is a necessary emotion, because it lets us know when our boundaries have been transgressed. Without anger, we would really be flailing around in utter confusion. Anger serves to propel us into action! It forces to ask "what now?" rather than to stay stuck.
I see anger as a positive thing. It can get such negative stigma in our society, especially when it is a woman who is angry. I think women's anger is so misunderstood.

@utopiaI haven't been in for a few days and wanted to see how you're going. I've been thinking of you. I can't really add much to what @Sahara said but I do agree that anger can be positive even though it doesn't feel like it at the time and also it's part of being human. Let's face it sometimes stuff happens and anger is a perfectly reasonable response. I feel like a b**h when I feel angry sometimes but when I really look at the situation or feeling I haved to give myself a break. Being all 'sweetness and lollipops' is a myth but we expect alot of ourselves sometimes.
