Yes...I have long marveled at how I cannot handle stressful jobs, or moving, or any of the transitions of life without some sort of meltdown. Insomnia is usually the first sign, and I am in the middle of several days of very little sleep.

Great topic. I'm putting together a "getting through a * night" kit in case tonight is another night like the last three.  :dramaqueen:
I'm glad to have this forum as one of my resources. Stay tuned as I lose coherence... :blahblahblah:  If I post tonight, it may be rambly and wierd cuz I will be soooooooooooooooooooooo tired. Already am.

thanks for a great thread. I am in an emotional flashback right now. I am shaking, I have a headache, I'm afraid and lonely. I just got off the phone with a person who interviewed me for a group and turned me down. I said "You may want to tell future applicants that you are looking for qualification "x" before setting up an interview. I wouldn't have scheduled the interview had i known you were looking for "x". IN fact I asked you what you were looking for and you didn't answer."

Anyway, I felt lots of tension during the conversation, probably because speaking up for myself was a big no no growing up. I feel so alone. I called some recovery friends. Didn't feel any attunement.  :dramaqueen:  Need some attunement!

So, being mistunderstood, BIG EF trigger for me. Being treated unkindly...I automatically think, "well this is typical," and I get angry and self-protective...assertive and intense.

this stuff is so hard
