Yes, emotions can tear us apart. I have sometimes been so moody, being angry, bewildered, depressed and bawling my eyes out almost at the same time. The turbulence, like being tossed around by huge waves on a beach, not knowing if I am upside down or right side up.
Ok, it may not last that long, but it is very unpleasant at the time, and Grrrrrr to anyone who minimises the effect it has on me. I do know it will pass, it always has done...but the right now is where I am, and damn it all, it is not a nice place to be.
I hope I haven't added to anyone's pain, let alone yours.
God bless
