As I have been working on my blog today, there has been a question running through my mind all day long. Why is it when people tell you that you need to change something about your behavior (for example, drama queen, emotional wreck, to involved in things, too angry, too sad, and ore) and you do, they get irritated with you because they have decided that now that you are not such a drama queen anymore, that you are boring?
I am not even sure if there is answer for that question, but if someone has an idea, feel free to let me know. What I do know is that, I am not the same person I was even a few months ago. I have been working hard to get the depression and anxiety under control, which in turn has caused me to drop a few bad emotional habits. Or at least start to drop them. Also, one of the reasons I started blogging was to give myself an outlet for my emotions, so I did not take them out on other people in an inappropriate way. It seems to be working, I have less time for drama.
I have a feeling that I might lose some people in my life because as much as they complained to me and about me and how I behaved because of the depression and anxiety, they really prefer the drama I caused to the more rational person I am now. It that is what happens, I think I will be OK with that. Obviously, if they prefer the unhealthy me than most likely they are not healthy themselves and I probably do not need to be around them at this stage in my recovery.
