Wow, thanks for all of your ideas. I admit the sitting on the floor crying image is sad. I hope it is helpful for you when you do that. Although now that I think of it, I've sat in Starbucks parking lot before crying and trying to get it all out and then repair the face damage before going in. Thank goodness for the drive thru one nearby.
I was thinking in general. I just feel that my emotional sensitivity takes a physical and mental toll on me when I am exposed to so much in my life...my own and those of others. I feel like I need to "train" to get stronger...but what I really mean is spend more time on self-care to counter the effects.
Thanks for your ideas.
