Hi Plinketyplonk,

Thanks for your reply. I also have meltdowns which I can hold in until I get home, but then it's horrible and probably worse than if I'd tried to express it at the time.

Talking it through really does help, and I'm lucky that I have someone I trust enough to talk to openly about it, but she's not always available and often it's in a work situation which is hard because I don't know anyone at work well enough and j don't think it would be appropriate to talk to them. You're right though, it's always OK to feel emotions and you can't control them, but when they're way too much or I don't know exactly what it is I'm feeling but it's overwhelming, I feel horrible and really anxious/guilty about it. Really need to learn to manage it properly! Thanks for the advice
