Mood Swings

Yesterday was a very emotional day for me. I don't really know where it all came from, but I somehow lost it and became very irritable when my brother Jeff took one of my Red Peppers. Sounds funny now but at the time, my mind made it a big deal about respect and this and that. Anyways, I was very upset and it has been happening almost every evening at around 5PM.So this is one of the things I'm keeping in check. Jeff (whom I live with) and Katie (my best friend) have been very good about alerting me if I start acting touchy, sensitive, short, rude, whatever. Since I asked them to do this, and they are nice about it, it usually snaps me out of whatever story is going on in my head and brings me right back  to the present.

Thanks guys.

Hey Russ. Jeffrey says I have to ask you what to say when people are being mean. He says you'll have good advice because you calmly explain that something hurts your feelings. I don't do that. I get mean back. :O
