I need strength. I need strength to control myself. I need strength to handle the tension. Im falling into the entrapment of my family. How can i prevent myself from losing my cool demeanor? I started retorting back but i hate it. I dont want to. How can i refain the strength needed to get myself under control? To be able to outlast the tension. To stay cool and uneffected by all. I've somehow lost my equilebrium with them for the first time and im not sure how to gain it back.
Lately im posting and i never used to, wonder if thats positive or just way worse. |

Families. Can really be the bane, of many emotions. Mine, still touches nerves, I forgot, I had. Yet, I hardly deal with mine.
Reactions, get turned around on you, in a heartbeat. As though, it reinforces, their poor treatment. As in, see, I can keep talking to you, in this manner, your reaction, reinforces my already negative feeling towards you, and if you do react, I get to keep treating you, like crud. It's an infuriating cycle. A rubber band can only stretch so much, before it snaps. How much longer, do you have to deal with them? Sent from my LG-MS910 using Tapatalk 2 |

The last section of this article by Dr. Nina Brown offers some practical techniques to avoid "catching others' emotions."
May you develop the strength you need, Idiot17.

About the article, i never realized that 'catching others emotions' is much of me. Well written article yet i'm not sure the practical tips are really ideal. It's more like easier said but not possible to do. Or maybe coming full circle (as everyone says), i'm not willing.
Thanks again for all. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
