There are times when my anxiety level rises, and the way I deal with it is to snap at the people in my life. I become angry and illogical. Every solution a friend offers I see as a way that make the situation worse. It is a terrible way to deal with my stress, and usually makes those who where trying to help me want to turn and walk away. And I wouldn’t blame them. In truth it makes me feel like a wounded wild animal that has their paw in the trap, baring my fangs at those trying to fee me.
I don’t want to be the person who deals with stress in such an unproductive and volatile way. And right now I am going through some life changes that have me feeling frightened and insecure (or should I say more frightened and insecure than usual). Because of this I am find myself rather irritable and irrational. I don’t like the person I become in these situations. I want to transform into someone who handles stress in a healthy way.
What I want to do is learn to breath through it. I’m trying not to work myself up over things that have not happened yet, and may not ever happen. Most importantly I am trying not to bite the hands that are offered up so graciously to me in the spirit of help.
