I need some Zen

*sigh* Today has not been a good day, and this evening has been a total write-off. Work is still frantic, I'm incredibly tired, and certain RL people have me completely livid at the moment.

There was a long, ranty entry about this, but I've decided not to post it - yay for the slim shreds of self-control, I guess. Or apathy - it's odd, I'm swinging back and forth between insane anger, passing through lethargy, and then into depression. And back.

It's not even a big deal - just the straw that broke the camel's back. Hell, it isn't even unexpected - I knew this was going to happen, which makes it rather ridiculous for me to be this upset *sigh*

I know I'll probably delete this entry tomorrow, but right now I need to try and get this out of my head. Maybe this will work. Probably not, but right now I'll try just about anything.

Since LJ is failing at de-stressing me tonight, it's on to strategy number two: rewatching favourite TV shows. I-Man, here I come.

*hugs back* Thanks

Unfortunately, those rl idiots are my friends, which is what is making this hard to deal with. Like I said, it's no big deal - just a pattern of behaviour that drives me nuts. I'll get over it - until the next time they do something like this.

Your icon is brilliant and full of cheer-up-ness :)

*sends you some Zen vibes*

Having been the author of many a lengthy ranty entry, I can sympathize with the urge. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but the feelings you have are familiar. I hope they sort themselves out for you. *hugs*

*absorbs Zen vibes*

It's no big deal really and it'll all work itself out, but in the meantime I'm left feeling wrung out, drained, and generally like shit.

Thank you for the hugs, and the understanding :)

Favourite TV shows sounds like a great idea.

Fave TV shows are always a good idea :)

I find it's easier to just rant it out - usually under f-lock or i-lock (private posts). But that's me. Posting it all helps me get rid of the rage.

Argh work and argh people!

Oh, Jack-hug icon!

I'm always of two minds ranting privately here - I'm always slightly worried I'll screw-up the privacy settings or something.

If we could only get rid of work and (infuriating) people, life would be so much better! :P

Only the people you care about can annoy you that badly, anyone else you'd just avoid.

I highly recommend playdoh for destressing, you can smash it, rip it, throttle it, and it never breaks. (Also, some people find the scent soothing) I worked in a high stress environment and always had some at my desk to torture.

Yes, that's the problem. Ah well.

I like the playdoh idea!

And you can eat Playdoh!
