So last night's blow-up about the stuff in The Artist's Way? While I was flipping out about it, there was a part of my brain that was kind of baffled at the strength of my reaction, because a normal-for-me response would have been to either a) roll my eyes and skip that section, or b) find ways of adapting the core of that advice to what I can actually do. Or both. It's not entirely like me to get that upset over something like that.
(Which is not to negate any of the hurt that I felt. Maybe I was being too sensitive, but I don't care; I felt what I felt, and it wasn't wrong. It was just baffling me how intense it was.)
Today, I realized why that nerve was so raw.
( triggery for weight issues, body image issues, etc )
In conclusion: nnnnngh.
