I am having one of those days when I get quickly irritated/frustrated. I am trying really hard to remember that this is part of my anxiety and to not take it out on anyone.
I also try to pretend that I am not irritated and respond in a positive manner even though it goes against how I am feeling, in hopes that the feeling will eventually go away. Is it a "normal" to pretend as a coping mechanism? I also do this when I am anxious and try not to get into a shell, and eventually it seems real for me.
Does anyone else ever feel this way?
