day 36 - what cant I control

[Archie]

This is easy - I seem to have less and less control on my emotions which makes life much harder, albeit more honest. I know it is much better for the emotions to be out rather than tightly kept under wraps as I used to do, but I find it very difficult at times to be so "at the mercy" of my emotions. And of course, what personality trait does this link into - the supreme need for control! so this is a very hard one for me. I used to "pride" myself on being so unflappable and calm.........well, that has certainly changed !

This is a biggie for me too. You realise that you control very little even when you think you're calling the shots and that's sometimes scary.
Well done, I hope I get to a place of being able to have a little laugh at myself about it, like you!

Thankyou for your reply - it is always so helpful to hear that I am not the only one with various issues. When the lack of control becomes evident it also turns up my anxiety - just to ice the cake !!
