Almost blew a gasket

I almost went off my rocker in a certain thread the other night. I even used inappropriate (fortunately censored) language inappropriately. Occasionally, I have bad days and life's events make those days worse. Still, that's not the most valid excuse for not just walking away from a sensitive topic that's rubbing one raw.

My apologies.

Don't be hard on yourself. It happens. We all get overwhelmed here occasionally. Est to learn when to avoid some things more than others. A skill I am too practicing.

I feel really embarrassed. I usually hold it together. I was hoping you didn't take it personal, either.

We all have been guilty of that at one time or another. You're human just like the rest of us. No worries :)

Apology accepted, just as long as you agree to use inappropriate language appropriately for now on. :D

(Actually I have no idea what you're talking about anyway. :p)

Worry not. Gaskets can be replaced.

Interaction is an important part of the learning and growing system in place. Further, one should not always be trying to avoid Drama. More is learned around Drama than at almost any other time.

One should always lead with that reason half. I see you have it leading again. If one leads with that feeling half, one could end up lost in a sea of emotions. It's never fun to be lost. Think, then act tends to deliver better results than simply reacting to things.

Do not overreact. Do not go through life like afraid of walking on eggshells. No one will make it through life without cracking a few eggs.

Be who you must! It's a part of the plan!

If it were I, I would figure out why the topic makes me so sensitive. Understanding all views around that topic will make the picture much clearer.

That's what I see. It's very clear!!

I don't know what you are talking about but one night on here I snapped at like 3 people and misinterpreted one thread. It was 12 am I had just had a serious ptsd flashback and I was not in the mood to chat. So I went to bed cuz I knew if I had stayed online the mods were going to come after me.

It happens. Everyone loses their temper

Same. I got emotional in a couple transgender threads in like 2021. Also, I find things a bit lonely since my bestie left this place (and talking to me altogether) so I've been known to take frequent breaks, sometimes not without a bit of sadness there too.

It happens. I've been able to keep it together on here but offline I've had moments when ive yelled at group home staff. Usually cuz of flashbacks.

I think what you said was how most of us feel. Don't feel bad, it happens.

When I heard, today, that the Texas gunman told kids (witnessed by a 9 year old boy) "it's time to die," I very nearly blew 20 gaskets. I will tell you honestly, I burst into tears. I couldn't write anything at all for quite some time, for fear I'd say something I'd regret forever.

There are things that put us all way over the edge. That was mine, for this week.

Is that what this is about @Viker ? That comment you made on the thread regarding the recent shooting? (In a kind tone) Honey. We all are upset about that. You should be mad. Don't apologize for saying what you did.

This really does happen to the best of us. Weeks ago, I nearly left RF in shame after doing that.
