Yes, my anger been worrying me. I especially don't want to show anger towards client because they just don't deserve that at all. Only love for clients. Please say I am better person now than before. Also another thing, greed/greedy for things. I don't even need half the stuff I buy. I am just going to sell everything or it goes to charity for now on. God just save me from myself!

I absolutely love this parable.

It's also a podcast "The One You Feed" Eric Zimmer. I've had an in person conversation with him and his podcast is amazing. All about making your life better through self exploration and growth. Managing mental health, addiction, recovery, spirituality... it's a wonderful grounding source of information, both scientific and spiritual.

What a great establishment for personnel such as yourself and others in your line of public service. People don't understand the long term weight of your career choice. I couldn't do it. I'm 30+ years and counting into my customer service J.O.B. and I really dislike working with the public. So I get it, but not on the same level as you in your daily routine. I fear the random mass shooter and we've recently been "trained" for active shooter/assailant situations...but it's not comparable to your responsibility.

I can see the comparison with anxiety. The one who wants to run away and the one that wants to fight.

I often find myself as the one who runs away. I wonder what fighting would be like.

I love the Two Wolves, it's very true.

This is actually really relatable. Often I feel there are two sides in me: the good traits/ugly traits. And whichever one is in control has that power over me. Then I have to talk myself to into saying it’s okay, there needs to be balance. Everyday is not going to be sunshine and rainbows, but also not everyday is going to be rain or sadness either. But when does get tough I process these feelings, work through them, and move on. My new trick when I feel anxious is to either grab a book, come to a forum like this , or just close my eyes and listen for the ocean. I also don’t let people (friends, families, co-workers) bombard me anymore. I want my inner wolves to be a cohesive unit not constantly causing a waging war inside me. Life is about balance. xo
