just up here at work, trying to catch up and thought I would add my two cents...I think it is soo important to remember that when were under stress already esp at work, it makes everything else really really hard. I know the saying goes to leave work at work~ but that is sometimes impossible.
Don't beat yourself up MG, I kept noticing you would say in your post how you know your just overreacting or that you know your wrong....your just reacting to a situation the best you can. I have had to work soo hard on trying not to control EVERYTHING that I did, your right in how your acting...it IS your space and you deserve every inch of it.
Hang in there~I am the queen of stressful workplaces, I am sitting in the middle of a nightmare here now.
I am going to try some of your suggestions too anns, those are great!!
Love ya MG!!
