I get that way too, especially when I’m in a situation where there is a lot of external noise, such as a bar or restaurant. I simply cannot process all of it. My brain gets overwhelmed and my emotions seem to come out by themselves. Irritation is the leading one. Take a deep breath and try to find someplace where you can be alone and stop THINKING. Calm down , don’t let your emotions control you. It can be difficult, but you can do it! I go through it quite a bit. Hang tough 😎, Regards, Ashley

@ashley43725 I find peace in you share.
That’s the exact process i go through.
Thank you- Im not alone and thats important for me to remember that my case is not unique.
Only thing is yesterday i didn't practice finding a quiet place and decompress.
Instead i not only expressed my thoughts to the person that wouldn’t quit talking after bursting into the office, even after i said “please give me a minute” as i was crunching numbers from a long list of reoccurring values.
But i expressed it with frustration and anger.
I ended up walking out of my office just to get away.
☹️. This is not who i am or who i have been.
