I'm piling all my other failures and self-esteem issues on to this. I need to be more objective, but emotions are anything but.

I just hate getting so emotionally worked up about it. It's not helpful. The emotions don't tell me anything I don't already know. They don't motivate me. They don't do anything but hurt. And we all know you can't just bottle them up or ignore them long term. So I have to ride it out. But try not to wallow.

I'm sorry. I can't talk about it much right now. I have a couple of things I really need to do tomorrow, and I can't afford to go off the rails. I need to maintain some degree of composure until the afternoon.

Maybe we'll talk about it later on a more appropriate sub-forum.

Thank you.
