Maybe this is better served in PTSD, but since it's making me want to do nasty things to myself, I thought I'd try here.
Do any of you have any luck with letting stuff go? I was utterly and completely run over by someone yesterday. For a reality check, because I tend to overreact, I forwarded the conversation to a level-headed friend, and even she said I got run over.
Today the person who ran me over apologized profusely and repeatedly, and admitted she could have said what she had to say much more kindly, and regretted not doing so. And poof! She's done.
I, meanwhile, am still devastated, and probably will not get over it for another couple of days.
How do you get around that? It's been a lifelong thing for me, even when I was a little kid. I've never been able to let things roll off me. She's fine, and all I can think about is SI and worse. I was too destroyed to get out of bed this morning, but forced myself. The only reason I'm out now is to post. I cried most of the day at work, instead of actually working.
Anybody got suggestions, I'm taking them.
