So I'm usually very funny and happy at work and today was having a bad day I've been very depressed my job is been horrible my ex is in town to stressing me out my cat just had surgery so I wasn't feeling good and you know in the beginning of the day somebody even said you know you don't look yourself and I said I'm just having you know I just don't feel good so then I went to help them with something and something they said must have annoyed me or something they didn't oide me and they're like well you sound really nasty and I said I'm not allowed to have a bad day too I don't understand you know people take stuff personally I have the worst bosses sometimes and I let it go I say one thing and everybody gets mad at me so my day is over and all I kept thinking is that I feel guilty for having a bad day so I think I'm going to start becoming a voluntary mute and I'm not going to talk to anybody so I don't hurt anybody it's a horrible feeling because I'm a very social person and these mood swings I've been having I really starting to affect my relationships

@Dancersoul Of course, you can be angry and have bad days.

I find the best way to cope with such times is to find a creative outlet for such emotions.

For examply, when I am frustrated, I LOVE BOXING. haha

Literally, punching a heavy bag or martial arts dummy until I am exhausted gets the frustration out. Who would have thought that, huh?

It doesn't have to be boxing. But there are always creative outlets for emotions that can help us get through the stickier ones.

And I'm sorry you have a lot going on right now. No wonder you are stressed.
