Questions about anything and everything!

Sometimes when we speak our truth @Maggie others do not want to or cannot listen either for their own wellbeing. It can be a fine balancing act at times between what we want to say and what is actually beneficial to both ourselves and others.

I have never been witness to anything but kindness and compassion from you - maybe that says more about where we are than it does about others too - and what we try to 'hide' so it doesn't affect others.

I think it’s great you posted on here @Maggie. I don’t think there is a tract for the topic. I think I named it anything and everything for a reason 😘.

I think we probably all come on here with a more polite version of ourselves. The internal 'scream' is busting to get out but it’s really hard to do so in a healthy way for me often. @Maggie I think if I’d let out last night what I wanted to I may have been unrecognisable to you all here. My head was filled with internal rage of self hate. I did manage to settle though although perhaps not in the healthiest of ways.

@Bunniekins I turn anger inwards and make it about me. It was interesting what you wrote about your meds and anger. Thanks for joining the conversation.

Thanks too @Zoe7 for getting back. I’m actually really glad you fell asleep knowing that is a tricky thing for you. I hope you slept ok.

@Maggie Dearest Maggie I remember once I was in a cafe and there were two police officers talking something inside me went into rage. I felt like a wild animal .... I had to leave immediately. Here I am a 50 year old mother who cannot control herself around police officers .... not all the time just sometimes that is... like a light switch on and off.

I look forward to reading your lyrics to your song and I have to say I have never heard you say anything harsh or angry to anyone on the boards so put your mind at rest :). You have always been the sweetest Maggie.

Thanks @Teej - when I do manage to close my eyes after a tough day it is always a relief.

@Bunniekins I agree - @Maggie is the kindest soul and she has always been the sweetest person you could find on here.

I don't tend to feel a lot of anger but I suppose when I do I turn it inwards as well - I blame myself for getting into a situation that could cause me any distress - not healthy I know but definitely learnt over a lifetime!
