Emotionality

A poem

Emotions surge high unexpectedly, Anger, feelings of betrayal, and frustration. One conversation triggers a hurricane of negative feelings. Years of self-control lose the battle to the torrential upsurge of sentiments. Any reference to the past brings an avalanche of feelings that play havoc with mental health. It feels like a tornado has just hit the roof. Calmness returns after a momentary but momentous relapse. The brain has been painstakingly rewired to focus on positive thoughts.
