Same for me, I don't really feel the spoons analogy, but it's widely used, so I roll with it.

No, that really is part of the job. I have the authority to put production on hold if they don't fix it.

Vote like your life depends on it - because it does.

My mortgage payment is always paid on the 1st. My credit card payments are always paid on the 21st. The time I got a credit card I couldn't pay on the 21st, I called and had the bill due date changed. And the time they issued me a card and told me I couldn't change the bill due date, I canceled the card.

My backyard has a 5 foot tall fence. Not high enough that I can't see the neighbors when they're out in their backyard, which is stress-inducing.
Am I expected to wave? Say something? Start a conversation?
I've not gone outside, because I saw them out and I just couldn't deal with it.

I also grew up in a religion, was a member in good standing until I actually read the book.
Seriously, this is what I'm supposed to believe? But what about... And when it says... But how can you support...? And look at this here...
They don't like it when you ask those questions. When I explored, I found out every one of them has stuff like that.
Nah, not for me.

My first thought was Munich, for the Christmas Markets, but they don't start for another 3 weeks.

That's what I do. Years ago I started getting up early to treadmill/crossfit before I got ready for work, and it was fantastic for me. I wake up early enough to sit and drink my coffee, and the exercise and shower before work seem to clear away the fog. I get to work wide awake and ready to go.

I had someone at work opine for about 15 minutes about the horrors of one wall in a room being painted a different color.

Not your taste, got it. So don't do it in your house. No need to carry on about it.

@actuallyautistic

Thanks for the input, everyone who did. My brain already decided I'm going to write a letter. It's partially composed, now, but I'll wait till I get home to type it in.
I always re-write 400 times, anyway, till it says exactly what I want it to say.

@cmdrmoto

I did, once upon a time. And this may sound like snark, but I promise it isn't: it's dark and scary in there, and I don't want to visit again.

@Kellyshenanigans

I do that with my parrot and dogs. They get the love and understanding I wish I'd gotten.

Looking for recommendations: what do you do when you get stuck figuring out what emotion(s) you're feeling?

My mother died a few days ago. Our relationship was toxic, and we haven't spoken for years. I know I'm feeling something, from the tense crackling inside, but I don't know what it is.
