Its hard for me though, if I hold in one emotion, I hold them all in. Because if I'm hurt or mad, if I start laughing, I'll cry, or if I say one little thing about me hurting, I'll start to cry.Its like when you hold things in, your blood pressure goes up. People sometimes ask me if I have high blood pressure because I am a little on the high strung side... lol... but in reality its not, because I don't hold things in. The only time I've ever known that I had high blood pressure (officially) was when someone gave me a hard time on the phone while I was about to get checked out by the doctor. They had to take it 4 times, finally that fourth time it came down (after I cried) otherwise it was medicine for me...
There are two things that worry me about holding things in... one - that I'll blow up like a big stick of dynamite and that will be bad. The other is that if I hold one emotion in, I'll hold back love. And that would be horrible for me.
I hope in this time while I'm shutting up, God speaks really loud!
1 Samuel 3:10 10 The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."

My dear, brothers take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. (NIV)
I wish I was better at that. I think especially for women talking is so natural it gets us into trouble.
Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he holds his toungue is wise. (NIV)
Praying for you and me friend that we can learn to be of less words and more wisdom! Love Ya!
You're growing & learning & that's a good thing.
