I have about had it with empathy in real life right now. This board is the only place where it isn't making me homicidal. My husband keeps checking to make sure I'm fine after terminating. I apparently look like hell today because nearly everyone at work asked me various annoying questions to make sure I was ok.

I am good at self-soothing and it is interrupting my flow. I don't want the reminder that something hard is happening. I remind myself enough. Quit telling me it is hard, you know? Feeling bad on my behalf doesn't fix my crappy problem.
