Almost lost my cool

Tweet

Monday I was in bingo. There was this lady there that lives upstairs in the Alzheimers unit. She is very disruptive and has been violent before. Anyway, I played the first 2 games. She was getting on my nerves badly. She was hollering out the numbers that were being called. It was awful because I couldn't concentrate due to her distracting us all. Most everyone was put out with her. By the 3rd game I couldn't stand it anymore. I knew I was a pressure cooker ready to explode. So, instead of showing out in anger, I removed myself from the situation. My nurse took me to my room because I came to her in tears of anger. She talked to me and told me I did the right thing to leave because it would be bad to say anything in anger. I have been depressed and I think tat situation brought the suppressed anger from depression out to the surface. I have been journalling every day since and I will keep it up. Thanks for listening. Hugs!
