Hi lately I feel like my emotions are out of control, I feel conflicted as I go through bouts of feeling depressed and wanting to disappear while I am able to feel happy sometimes I mostly feel down and almost robotic during the day. I mostly put on a smile just to get by as I get irritated by people asking what is wrong and I also do it for my son but I feel myself sinking its getting harder to hide I've tried self care and grounding but it just doesn't seem to work. Sometimes I feel like I can't breath and my chest hurts. I just want all of it to end I want to be happy and and be there for my son

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
@Teej I do Beauty as a living. It isn't all glamour... Theres alot involved...at times you are everyones therapist. It can be exhausting. On top of that you have newbies fresh out of college coming in on their high horse thinking they know the trade, ignorant customers complaining about treatment prices though half forget labour, product rent, profit, rent goes all in that just to keep the business existing... On top of that again though you have girls competing with one another on a daily basis not focusing on the client's needs... I had a staff member virtually lash out at me in regards to myself telling her to make sure she does not cut her treatments short...An older maturer woman...I am 28... Picked her to be the type that likes working individually but her response & my own feedback was taken personal rather than just taking it on board with her improvement as a therapist. Didn't care, told me to go away and had no regard for that client. On top of that she was wearing a uniform with a different salon logo within the spa which isn't professional...
My work is full on at times

Oh dear @Former-Member, it does sound full on. I hope you have a gentle night. Yes a glass of wine can help to de-stress. I think last night I pushed that one glass of wine too far 😜.
Cheers to a better day tomorrow 🥂
@Faith-and-Hope I think you are not on the roster for teej duty tonight 😘. Am going to my parents for tea with s2 for his birthday.....but I’m doing a bit better too. Would love to hear your stuff though if you are up to it. 💜🤗

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
D3 got deferred from uni today for the rest of the semester ... to chase down what is still wrong with her health.(she has had an inflammation marker come up in blood tests and has cramping pains in her stomach) ...,. and maybe change course for next semester to something she would enjoy more ..... and to get her established in mental health support .....
Mr. came in late to the counsellor apt this morning, and only stayed briefly while admin took a look at her course options, so he hasn’t heard yet that she has been deferred. Wait for the fireworks .......
Our house is flooded now with sorting. Was supposed to be one box at a time while we unpacked stuff from a rental property in another city that was supposed to be for extended family use ..... think I mentioned that to you on the Carer’s thread ..... mr. got impatient so 1 x box a day turned into 3 x boxes a day .... and then let’s not worry about whether the last ones have been cleared before ..... oh, well, might as well just tip out the lot ‘ey ?
Grrrrr
So, treading water amongst a clutter-maze and taking one day at a time ..... Lenten diet program or not, I’m going looking for ice cream right now. It’s D3’s fault ..... she sent me to the supermarket for mince ..... I blame her .... lol .....

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
Thanks @Bunniekins i had read you have had a difficult time lately too.
I found this
which made me smile and think you could put it in your tool kit.
I’m kind of feeling bad as you’ve found on of my crisis places in this thread. It will usually be full of me being emotionally out of control. That’s my BPD side taking control. It’s not pretty I’m afraid.
Oops posted too soon. I hope today has been a little calmer for you and you’ve been able to concentrate a little more. I wish that I’d been able to post to you yesterday but I was in my head and swinging wildly emotionally. Best wishes 💜🤗

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
Oh dear @Faith-and-Hope. It sounds like padamonium at the moment. I hope it’s ok with you if I let you have it and I not have any 😜😂.....of course you know I’m the one that causes it mostly in this house.
I hope you can get to the bottom of d3s illness soon. It sounds wise for her to sort this stuff out first. And yes she needs to enjoy what she is studying. It’s the driving force once you find that passion.
Good luck with boxes and mr. the devil in me would want to put it all back in boxes and label it 'to be opened last' on every box but three. 😂
sending hugs to cure family stresses 💜🤗

Re: Feeling emotionally out of control
@Teej Oh Teej it was in the stars for us yesterday wasn't it. I am alot better today and I am hoping that you are feeling even a tiny bit better as we speak. You are such a lovely person Teej don't ever talk about yourself negetively again because it is just not true. When I came back you were so welcoming to greenpea I remember that.... if ever you are in trouble just let me know if you see me posting on another thread and I will come over please do not sit there in pain. xxx
