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.

I know I have trouble (((((((((((Candy))))))))))

I wish I knew how to just "get over" things that hurt me, but doesnt seem possible!

Sorry, I'm not helpful but just wanted to say I understand, even a little bit.

((((((((((((((((((candybear))))))))))))))))))))))) Unfortunately some people just don't seem to understand how hurtful they can be; even if inadvertantly. One thing you may want to consider is when you feel you are not being treated fairly is to calmly explain to that person how you don't deserve to be treated like that. I know it is very difficult and maybe you could work with your t so you will be better prepared next time. It sounds like your friend didn't realize how she was coming across until later. I hope you begin to see what a wonderful person you are and that you do not deserve to be treated badly by anyone. Please take care and stay safe.

Bear hugs,
