I'll call her up when something bothers me just to talk it out. It really is valuable to have a built in therapist :Dsiddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-51179958742334564742014-06-19T10:53:48.912-04:002014-06-19T10:53:48.912-04:00I've definitely got to learn how to be more fl...I've definitely got to learn how to be more flexible. I get angry also when I'm forced to deviate from my "scripting." I think psychology is fascinating. I took developmental & abnormal last summer when I was taking my prerequisites, & I loved learning about people, & why we do what we do. How enlightening to have had your mom there to explain things for you - that seems quite valuable!siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-50554542694602614732014-06-19T10:51:39.741-04:002014-06-19T10:51:39.741-04:00I get irritated & feel like I'm "out ...I get irritated & feel like I'm "out of battery," when I don't get enough time alone to recharge. It's taken me a long time to figure that out about myself. And routine is so comforting, but I've got to learn to roll with the punches a little bit better, because routines have a way of getting disrupted.siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-39089166502250723912014-06-19T10:50:27.721-04:002014-06-19T10:50:27.721-04:00:):)siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-24460332581197989112014-06-18T02:32:23.744-04:002014-06-18T02:32:23.744-04:00I like routine and I hate being jogged out of it. ...I like routine and I hate being jogged out of it. My mother {the psychologist - so I've kinda had a built in shrink all my life} says it's because of this thing we do called "scripting" - we script out how we think our days are going to go and when it doesn't go that way, we get torqued off. The hard part is not setting everything in stone, and learning to be flexible with changes.<br /><br /><br />I'm still waiting to learn how to do that part, but at least I know that I'm mad because I've deviated from my "scripting," not because of anything else :psiddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-64794091768222123632014-06-17T23:14:08.860-04:002014-06-17T23:14:08.860-04:00I like routine, too.

If I go for a long period without that time I notice that I get irritated more quickly.siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-15964664072404595622014-06-17T17:22:48.291-04:002014-06-17T17:22:48.291-04:00I love this. :) We sound like very very similar pe...I love this. :) We sound like very very similar people.siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.com
