General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I apologize my friends

I've been reading thru my posts & there are some here that I'm deeply ashamed of


i don't like to read my own writing I find it's an exercise in humiliation That's why so many journals end up in the trash. I don't like my knee jerk angry responses if someone gives me an answer I don't like or if I feel rejected


im sorry if I've done that to anyone in the past. 
you are not my therapists & do not deserve the ugly details that I'm so anxious to share. And then so anxious to take back. 
so please forgive me if I've over shared or lashed out or anything I've done like that. I'm sorry


I cannot seem to delete these past posts out here w my " name" on them for the community to see.


live , learn

We all have ups and downs. The fact you have some insight means you’re on the path to controlling more. Don’t beat yourself up.

Apology NOT accepted, Deepdark. I have seen nothing offensive in any of your posts. So far as I can see from here, your posts have all been well within the bounds of the healing hopes we have gathered here to accomplish. My only wish is that you will keep working it out. I hope healing happens here.

Listening. . .

For what it's worth
I've been keeping a therapy journal for 40 years and I still can't read my journal without triggering off into La La Land. Like you, beating myself up is what I do best. I am a Do-it-yourselfer to the core. I figure that if I self-humiliate, the world will leave me be.

That's part of healing. What posts that you want to remove can be removed through checking the arrows to the right of your post.

I agree, you have to write it out, and often, when you reread it, it sets off another firestorm of feelings. It's part of the process.

You are not alone!

No need to apologize. Your just expressing your feelings. And I to have read your posts and comments. You even commented on my post. I didn't take no offense to it. You were just keeping it real. Sometimes people get angry and frustrated and say things. But I just felt that you were being honest about your true feelings. No judging here. We are all in this together. We are here to listen and give the best advice. So don't beat yourself up. Just keep venting. Italianmomma4ever

I wrote a post when I was going thru a destructive manic phase. It was disgusting. This is why I was apologizing. I was asked to move it to a more appropriate board & I got bitchy bout it. THIS is also why I’m apologizing. Ugh. Who wants to be reminded of a manic episodes???? I’m only writing when I’m depressed or anxious. Lol

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
