My original career was as a classical musician (oboist) so I think I was able to use those emotional swings to my advantage until they got so bad that I couldn't control them. Then I drank myself into a stupor. 12 years of therapy and medication later, I think I'm coming to terms with my SELF.
Now I'm a library technical assistant working on a couple of masters degrees to be a librarian. Big switch, huh. I think I'm trading places with you!
How did you distance yourself from your emotions? Medications? What do you do for a living. If all those aren't too personal. I'm interested!
