I am talking to this guy I really like atm, I know me likes me too and everything is great. Just now I realised he'd left me on read 8 minuted ago and the message I sent would be one you'd expect a reply to. However, I am not letting that trigger send me into a flurry of anxiety and rage. I've calmed myself down after experiencing the initial rush of emotion and am now using the wise mind technique. He said earlier to me that he was helping his gandfather with a job so I think it is likely he just didn't have time to reply or got distracted, I do that myself sometimes. It does not mean he doesn't like me and it does not mean he's going to cancel our date tomorrow. 

Oh wow! 

While I was typing this, up pops a notification that he's replied. See, there was no need to panic in the first place. He sent me a lovely message in return and even put a kiss at the end I am very happy. I am so so proud of myself for not spiralling. Hopefully this can axt as a reminder for those of you who need to remember acting with rage and emotion will not make anything better. The situation is better handled by calming yourself down and thinking with your wise mind.
