But the straw that’s breaking my back at the moment is someone close to me going is through a tough time at the moment and being extremely negative and moody.
Now I’m generally an upbeat sort of person who can manage not to be too affected by the moods of others, but this is really starting to get me down. I can empathise with this friend; they’re going thru some tough stuff at the moment, and they’re the sort of person who wears their heart on their sleeves, nothing is hidden. But they’re starting to take me down with them! I’m struggling at the moment not to hide myself away from them to wait out the storm. I can feel my anxiety levels rising and I keep telling myself to breath. This friend also works with me, very closely and in a very small office, so I feel like I’m tippy toeing around the place constantly. What do I do?!?!?
This brings me to my second problem; I’m posting this on a blog, which has no audience (well I don’t think I do). Am I posting this in the hope that once I put it out into the blogosphere, I will feel like my problem has been shared (or rather aired) and then I can put it behind me and move forward?
I’m a big fan of the Bossy Blog on news.com.au, Bossy is a psychotherapist and holds nothing back. Her advice is sensible and blunt. My guess with most the of the people who write in, is that as soon as they hit that send button (and sometimes earlier) they cotton on to what advice is going to be give and what path they will be taking before Bossy has had a chance to unleash herself. So I wonder if the same will happen to me.

Back in Happier times, circa 1983. Pre Lil Sis, I loved that heart headband!
