I sit and meditate and be present with my emotions. When I’m acting like that, it’s usually because i have an unaddressed/ unresolved feeling. I still my mind, let my sense drift to my body and identify where the disturbance is in my body and then sit with that feeling until it reveals what I’ve left unaddressed.

Burn out is like a river. You don’t notice the silt of burn out building up over the years. Then one day your river is dry and you need that sweet sweet PTO.

When I get like this, it’s usually because of the following:
1) I am very stressed
2) I am very tired
3) I am hungry
4) I am hormonal
5) I need to get laid
6) some combo of the above

Once I fix the root cause(s), I stop being so cranky an irritable.

Last couple of days? Not years?

In all seriousness, I've dealt with this practically my whole life and only just recently began to recognize and deal with it. When I recognize it, I know that (1) I should not send any emails or other written communications (and preferably not speak with anyone at all) until I feel more balanced and (2) I need to take a walk, drink a recess or a nuun, and/or find divert my focus somehow (nap, meditate, dive into an interesting article, etc). Sometimes I can snap out of it quickly, sometimes it takes up the whole day. But bottom line, I generally have to let myself feel what I'm feeling but try not to act on it.

Nap

Or eat food. Typically one of those fixes it for me.

Take a pregnancy test and when it’s negative drink a glass of rosé.

Sounds hormonal or maybe lack of sleep. Weed helps me.

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.
