I have often wondered why other people's actions and moods affect my mood so much. For example, if my husband or someone is upset, then my mood will drop. Yesterday at work, I took a phone call from a very upset parent. It is a family that my co-worker supervises, but that co-worker is on vacation. I did the best I could, but I couldn't give them what they wanted. I told them I was sorry, and the parent said "I'm sorry too" in a very angry voice and then hung up on me. I was having a pretty good day until that happened. My mood dropped so low after that happened, and my urges where horrible the rest of the afternoon and evening. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it even today. The urges are still really bad, although I haven't injured yet.
