I made myself ill yesterday, but also likely made other people sick (at least, of me). While, of course, there are some behaviours that we literally cannot help it is still possible to look before we leap into chaos, dragging others along for the wild ride. Over-thinking and misinterpretation of words, events and actions are a curse, and not only to us; their effect on people we care about can be a greater curse. This post is a self-reprimand but also a plea: please, please, if you can possibly help it all then try to restrict your over-thinking to your own mind and don't unload onto others while loading them with the responsibility to fix or comfort you. Don't burden them with True Confessions or insane, endless worries, while hoping that their natural and above-duty kindness and patience will save or sooth you...again. This post is not an attempt to blame anyone who has similar issues to me - it's a hope that they can be better than I am in controlling these issues. Please, if you're at all able - and I do realise that it's very hard - think before you act. Don't be me - be better.
On a lesser note, please don't misunderstand my post as a cry for help, something you need to respond to because you may be concerned about my state of mind. I am 'fine' now, my head has cleared, in the same sense that someone with a drink problem has woken afresh to find the place trashed but has left others to clear up and rebuild. Don't worry about me - that isn't the point of my post at all.
