Hi Sharpy -
I can relate. For most of my 94 days, it's been Pink Sky. But recently, in the past couple of weeks, I've had a handful of "down" days, or ornery ones, or even some angry, worked up snits. The challenge, as AA says, is knowing that these will pass, not freaking out, learning how to get through them. It. Will. Change.
We do have to deal with the negative thoughts and emotions, but remember that the emotions are not US. They are feelings and they will change.
I keep telling myself this- I "catch" myself mid-thinking when it's something like this and first check to see if I am breathing (I tend to hold my breath when stressed or upset) and repeat to myself that I am ok, that I can just "be" with the bad moment. And I think I'll keep trying to figure out what works to get me through these bc they are going to come!
Hang in there.
