It gets to me, to my core. I get so anxious and tighten up. I feel I just want to run away from the situation.
I end up losing concentration towards anything and just try shut down.
It also makes me angry and I lose my temper.
I'm trying to listen to my iPod or remove myself from the situation, but I hate the anxiety. I hate not being able to keep things together.
Is this the part where Klonopin comes in handy?
I don't like angry tones of voice, either, and I include sarcasm and sneering, which is what I have to listen to on the job. That feeling of wanting to run away might be telling you that the solution is to remove yourself from the situation. I know that is what I plan to do, and sooner rather than later.
