I don't necessarily deal with drama queens at work, but I am on the receiving end of a giant chain of stress. Clients yell at the sales execs, sales execs yell at me, and I do my best to meet everyone's deadlines without passing that stress onto our vendors. I'm like a stress HEPA filter.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I had a 4" fibroid removed yesterday. Still in hospital but doing alright (thank you morphine).
Oh, ouch! Have some chocolate.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I read through your list , bonny. I 'd put "wants a real person , not an ideal" at the top of the list. Lots of the other parts of the list sort of fall underneath that

Oh, GC. Wow.
It just sucks that your life is so filled with personal tragedies at the same time the world seems to be going to shit around you
I'd like to think about it as if I'm in the eye of the storm.
Re: no drama, thank you: Right there with you. I had my share of emotional narcissistic vampires to know better. Will read the rest soon.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My family was of the "problems? there are no problems" school of denial and avoidance. Which meant, at least for me, that trying to talk things over reasonably (or as reasonably as a kid can) never worked. So I held it in until I exploded in a huge scene. At which point there were so many problems that even correcting whatever it was that caused the explosion couldn't really calm me down.
Got real interesting with Hubs's family and their "don't hold anything in" style. We still work on me talking about problems as they happen, and him expressing his problems calmly.

“Not dead yet!”
People tend to assume that because I'm not crying, I don't need a hug.
Yeah. This. Of course, perverse creature that I am, when I'm really, really upset, I have trouble accepting hugs. It's like I can accept one for a split second, then I have to straighten up, pull myself together, be strong, blah, blah, blah.
It's exhausting.

Oh, GC!!! I'm glad it's out and you have morphine, but yikes!!!
Have chocolate with your morphine.
