Negative Nancy


Dear Tina,
Over the last year I’ve noticed a gradual change in my attitude about life and the people around me. I have been getting more and more irritable, frustrated, angry and annoyed. Even though I feel these things, I don’t recognize myself at all. I have always been the one that others go to for support and help. I used to pride myself on that. I want to get myself back, but I just don’t want to be around anyone. What can I do?

Dear Negative Nancy,
First of all, don’t beat yourself up. Doing so will only set in more unproductive energy that you will have to clear up to find yourself again. Listen to what comes up for you and express it.
