[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what are the words you would use to describe any emotions you have had in the last 24 hrs?[/quote]

Happy when life went well. Frustrated when they didn't. Angry when someone else got angry at me by making a small issue bigger. . But 90 percent of the day was just happiness or anxiety or frustration or peace.  More od the green and yellow areas of regulation [/quote]

Ugh. I know someone like this. When she had her first child, she was happy when the baby was on schedule and annoyed when the baby was off schedule and the adults in the room were not focused on getting the baby back on schedule. It didn’t matter what was going on in anyone else’s life. If people pointed out she wasn’t happy, she said she would be when the baby ate the right amount, slept when the baby was supposed to, etc. She’s still miserable and friendless.

My child messes up all the time. When he does, he feels sad and disappointed. Sometimes he feels like a mess up. It takes a minute to tousle his hair and give him a hug. I remind him that mistakes are ok, and we love him for who he is. I should add by standard measures, he’s very high achieving, but he doesn’t do it for me. It turns out he can mess up and still be high achieving. Also my happiness doesn’t depend on his not messing up.[/quote]
