Daily Prompt: On edge, what do you do? Usually, I jump off!

Daily Prompt: On edge, what do you do? Usually, I jump off!

  I wish even keel were part of my vocabulary. I am an extremist that was raised by an extremist. I go to extremes to try to keep my children from becoming extremist too. I will probably fail at that. Anyhow, when I need to get my extremism in check I usually write. I feel a release when I type out something that is bothering me. I would recommend writing/journaling to everyone. Only recently have I started actually blogging my thoughts. I really find blogging fun and it brings an even greater gratification then my journal ever could.

I hate to admit it but it is true. I can’t handle the pressure of being on the edge so I will usually just announce to everyone what is bothering me and let the pieces fall where they may. I mean teetering on the edge of any subject, act or feeling is not for me. The more stress I have the more I write or talk about it to help elevate what ever is bothering me. 

Sometimes, when I am really wound up I will type so hard and fast my daughter says my computer sounds like rain falling on our ceiling. Hey, its better than nutting out verbally or acting on my whims.
