I need to tell someone off but I already know I’m going to be close to tears when I do. And I don’t want her to see me crying.

And please spare me any mention of how it is okay to cry. That’s not why I’m here.

    Sometimes it helps me to inflict slight pain somewhere, like pinching myself or contracting my foot inside my shoe really tightly. Like, it divides my attention between that sensation and what I’m dealing with emotionally. But I mostly just let myself cry, so take those ideas with a grain of salt. Here’s hoping it goes ok for you!

      I often bite my tongue or cheek, though that’s hard to do when speaking…
