More serious than a difficult day

[Rainagain]

I get loud and difficult too contessa, not all the time, I try to be composed but sometimes I get lairy, just the hindbrain kicking things up a gear.

It doesn't bother me too much these days as I have more control over myself.

Really glad you are feeling more grounded now, I know how it is.

Stamping your feet is not undignified imo Contessa and look what it netted you, days not weeks or months of upset. Self -protection is what so many of us need to learn or relearn is what this says to me     

[Blueberry]

I can't believe that agony lifted after only days. Days! Instead of months or years. Something positive to come out of all of this, and a little self esteem boost

Yay! 

I agree with Kizzie that foot-stamping isn't 'undignified'. We are allowed to set boundaries! If words alone don't work, then foot-stamping sounds good. It's not committing any violence to anybody and if you meant it literally it might even help to ground you as an added bonus.
