Falls --
> I'm angry at my old therapist for letting me down. I'm angry at the woman I depended on before that for not being strong enough to handle my dependency. I'm angry at my old boss for asking me to do something, refusing to help, and then telling me I did it wrong (he's the only one who I have been conscious of anger towards). I'm angry at my daughter for learning so effectively to be passive aggressive (her dad is a pro), I'm angry at myself for being passive aggressive.
<<Just like Medusa said to me, anger's good sometimes and energizing. Channel it well and you'll be really strong!> But I have no experience with anger. It wasn't allowed when I was growing up. Nothing could be wrong in my house.
<<LOL! Did you grow up in *my* house! Mine was exactly the same. I told my therapist that my family was *polite.* You could never express any type of negative emotion, no sadness, no anger, no annoyance.....But I ended up exactly the opposite of you. I was angry for years and years....and then it subsided. It's come back with force with this last depressive episode, though...or the Wellbutrin, can't figure out which.
It's OK to be angry. Keep telling yourself that...It really is.
>> I'm making a recipe that I will eat every day, and it will last a week.
<<I just recommended a salad to Dinah. Don't know if you'd be interested, but it takes a minute to put together.Baby spinach
Blue cheese crumbles
Walnuts
Mandarin oranges
Vinagrette-type dressing.I just keep that all in my fridge, and I'm so boring, I eat it every day for dinner. But it's easy and healthy, well, except for the blue cheese. :-) And I love *easy.*
> I need a hug.
<<<Hugs! You're in my thoughts,S.
