Yup ST, that's something I really struggle with too. So I do a lot of people pleasing. And then I erupt in angry outbursts and people are like "where did that come from?" The best way I've learned to avoid that is to quit saying sorry for having an opinion. But that's just my opinion
Bit of a struggle for me tonight. I recognized the feeling that I get that used to set me off on binges. The "I don't know what to do with myself I can't breathe and I'm so upset I can't even process why I'm upset" kind of feeling. It kind of scared me. But it always scares me. That's why I used to drink, so that feeling would just disappear for awhile. Instead I took my dog for a walk. I'm still kind of upset, but a little less so. And hey, I'm sober. So that's cool too.
