lithera: (Rar!)

I am stressed.

I got into two situations today where I was unaccountably bitchy to people who didn't deserve it.

*sighs*

I am obviously stressed out.

I think we all are but I hate it when I look back and I cannot figure out why I said or did things that I did.

Apparently I need to start recognizing my warning signs for this stuff again. I don't want to be that person.

I hated that person.

Yeah. I need to remember to vent that crap elsewhere and not at people who just... happen to push a button. Probably without knowing it.

*hugs*

Deep breath.

Step back.

Take stock.

This too shall pass.

Thanks. I just need to let myself feel bad from time to time and not worry if I'm going to alienate someone with it.

That's all perfectly normal, cat.

It's what keeps us all (mostly) human.

I know.

I just forgot things to day that I shouldn't have.

Again, we're all only human.

I hope that the repercussions aren't too severe and that everything works out. But it sounds like a minor slip, so should be fine.

Yeah. I just get down on myself about being rude and mean to people when they don't deserve it.

I can understand that, as I'm much the same way. Eventually, though, you're just doing yourself a disservice. Ask for forgiveness if possible and everything will be fine if the person in question is a friend. Otherwise, there's little to be done anyway, so moping won't accomplish much.

I'm pretty sure I deserved some of it. I wish I could have just droped it, it just felt so stupidly important and came along with a massive spike of dejection/depression, at least after the conditioned "don't disrupt game" stoped caping things. Mostly feel better now, sorry I pressed buttons. At the time I knew I shouldn't be continuing, but I just couldn't stop.

It's okay. I.. I need to remember that I need to allow myself to vent from time to time.

You're not the only one

Last night, I noticed bitching between:
  • Myself and Kris
  • You and Steve
  • Kris and Cody
  • Myself and Steve
  • You and Kris
...and there was probably more that I didn't notice. I almost had myself convinced at one point that it was just me ... if everybody around me iseems bitchy to me, that's the easiest explanation ... but then I noticed that people were behaving like that with each other, and not just with me. Too many people with slightly foul moods interracting?

I don't know. I'm just stressed out and not allowing myself to vent any of it. I'm too worried about freaking people out to actually allow myself to express whatever emotions I'm actually feeling in the way I feel I need to express them.

It's stupid but true as far as I can tell.

Definitly wasn't just you. I woke up this morning and realised I hadn't really slept all that well this entire weekend, so though I was good yesterday morning, I burned out real quick, thus violating the rule I keep managing to violate: No RP for Steve when Steve is sleep deprived. Once again, I only remember that rule after the fact *sigh*.

Unfortunatly, I'm still feeling tired and vaguely spitefull/guilty so I probably shouldn't come over tonight.

It will be okay. Looks like we could both use some venting time. Or maybe some fun time... are you going to the ComicCon?

I'll be coming down from Canada on Sunday and hoping to make it there on Sunday. I'm just hoping that I'm not totaly burint from driving but I really, really do want to go. Gail Simone will be there and I need her to sign something so I can tell her I love her forever.
