The other night I was feeling mad. Primarily with my SO because they've been emotionally a little distant. I just started school and am swinging down and have a few surprise opportunities that won't last forever but they'd still be considered a part of my emotional load. 

It came to a head when I asked if they could take me to the pharmacy to pick up meds and they heard me ask them to go get them. So I was getting ready to go, and thats when they left me to go get my meds without me. 

That set me off. Only called 3 times before they picked up and we were super annoyed with eachother, but still so mad. I got off the phone and had this overwhelming urge to break, destroy, smash everything I could. I wanted to rip my house apart. 

And I didn't. Instead I beat a pillow on the floor. I did a few pull ups until I didn't have that physical energy, and I got some water and took calming breaths to deal with the mental energy I had. 

SO came home, and once we had both eaten I confronted. There was little I could do about the tone of my voice, but I told SO that there were problems WE needed to deal with. They didn't want to hear it at the time, but I was able to get through and we had a productive conversation. 

You guys. I handled my emotions in a safe and effective way while staying focused on the real problem and looking for a real solution. 

In the comments brag about something that you've done that makes you feel proud!
