Me

Me, that's what we will talk about today. We have talked about Mrs.Wonderful and believe me I will either pale in comparison, or amaze and astound you. First off I naturally suffer from Depression/Anxiety- start throwing more stress at me I tend to hold it in until-BOOM! Yes Boom! Either in tears(sometimes I really hate being hormonal), snippy remarks(I can be "not so nice"), or flat out anger-usually "cleverly" disguised as sarcasm. 
I recently read a book quoting Carl Jung's research on extroversion and introversion. Despite being, well Loud, I am a very much an introvert. I like to internalize information I receive, giving me time to digest it, understand it, and have the correct way to respond to it. I like to be streamlined and quick about things. Having someone throw out a random list of things-can sometimes throw me for a loop- if I don't have time to internally process it. I think being an introvert plays into my feelings of being wrong...I hate being wrong, I mean, who does- right? I, however, will stand hold onto being right, unless you can prove me wrong-with facts. I tend to know a little about a lot and will tell you about it! I don't think I know everything, if I did I would run for ruler of the world, but I don't, so no worries. I will say something if I am 80% sure, I am correct, or I won't say it-so it perturbs me when I'm wrong. I can handle it, if you can explain(with facts)why I'm wrong-your opinion is not a viable reason.
I tend  to overreact when I can't process what is going on around me, either it hits me emotionally or I simply can't streamline the information enough for it to be clear to me. For example...(I want to point out my stress level before this story happened was near volcanic levels) my husband decided to buzz his head, yes buzz his head! Ok the rational part of me is saying "So what?" right along with you; however, when the conversation you have with your husband prior to this incident is "Bathe the dog", you begin to see my processing dilemma. My husband leaves the dog outside, (yes leave, not let) while he is showering(which is 15+ minutes), without telling me or apparently remembering he had done it. In the middle of folding laundry and organizing my closet(the seasons are changing and the mess was driving me nuts) I hear the doorbell ring, then a knocking...There at my (open, which we never leave open at night.) front door is a neighbor with her daughter and my fur baby! She was three houses down! I felt like an idiot since I didn't even know she was outside! I thanked the lady and marched myself into the bathroom, "Did you let the dog out?!", my husband looks at me with a Huh? look on his face, then says "oh yeah". (This has happened twice!) So I am livid, especially at the dumb look he gives me saying "why are you mad?" I say to him, 'well I will finish up dinner( I had already roasted a chicken) and you can give her bath'. (The neighbor mentioned my fur baby stunk.) The next thing I know I am walking past the bathroom to see my husband taking his electric razor to his head! I asked the normal explicative question, with the response " I am cutting my hair". I walk back to the kitchen in a daze, stir my macaroni, take the courageous steps back to the bathroom. I peek in, cover my mouth in horror...then the tears being to flow... I don't know why, but it is scarey to me! He looks nothing like himself! I keep saying to myself "I asked him to bathe the dog and he shaves his head?" "I asked him to bathe the dog and he shaves his head?" Can you see the internal process error here? DOES NOT COMPUTE! So I, like a child, refuse to look at him for more than 10 seconds at a time. My being simply can not process this much shock...Couldn't he have said- "Hey I'm going to cut all my hair off?"  Was that too much to ask? I mean yes I color my hair( I am the guinea pig for my newly licensed sister), but I tell him prior! 
So I overreact.. I get it...I struggle with how to deal with my rolling emotions and accepting that I am just a bit nuts. That's Ok, Right?
