I'm sure my b/f wants to leave me (he doesn't and wouldn't!), or that my sister hates me (she loves me, but she can be prickly sometimes. She has depressions, too). I call the hotline if it's the weekend, but that's not really very helpful.

Hi Flowerbells, I don’t think it has so much to do with discipline as it does being able to recognize when I am “on a mission” to express myself. If I notice that I have exaggerated and taken out of context my response to a topic, I have shared too much personal information, and I have over edited because I cannot focus and become irritable in the process, then red flags go up and tell me I will be probably be embarrassed and regretful down the road should my writing be viewed by other readers. What are your red flags?
