We stopped at a few of our usual stops and bought a bit of this and that, things that we thought we'd need to have even more fun in the sun. After our last stop, we decided to make our way back home. Since it was dinner time, we discussed what we'd like to do. We couldn't agree.
Then, Hubby decided he'd like to pick up some Chinese. I was not in the mood for Chinese, but couldn't say what I'd like. Hubby asked me very nicely if I'd call the restaurant for him. All of a sudden, I felt a wave of anger over me. I was livid!
I was shocked; what was I angry about? There was no reason for me to be angry. Absolutely no reason.
As we made our way home, I looked out the window and tried to let the beauty of the valley and the warmth of the sunshine dissolve the anger. I didn't want to feel this way. I was disappointed with myself for letting my emotions get the better of me.
Eventually, the anger subsided, and I started to calm down. Before I got the chance, my darling Hubby apologize to me! I am the one who owes him an apology.
Mental illness sufferers have to deal with strong emotions that can be unexplainable. Sometimes, handling our emotions are extremely difficult. Our feelings take hold of us but we must try to master them. For the sake of those who love us, we must try again and again to control our emotions. We could hurt the ones who are our greatest supporters, if we are not careful.
There is support and help for those of us who need assistance with our feelings. Don't think you must handle your feelings on your own. Talk to someone. Find supporters. Feel better!
