The one where I explain Mondays

So, welcome to Monday.  If you are like the large majority of the global population, you don't like Mondays.    Monday is the day that ruins your weekend.  Monday is the day you have to get through, knowing you still have 4 more days to get through before your next well earned break!  Everyone hates Mondays.

So in this spirit of mutual loathing, I have decided Mondays will be dedicated to "The Monday Rant".  Now, this is actually a very important issue I need to address.  There was once a time where I was a very angry and confused young man.  Without going into too much detail, I suffered from a type of depression that basically robbed me of feeling emotions.  When I got "cured" I got scared by the sudden influx of feelings, and without knowing how to interpret them properly, I did what most people do.  I got angry.

This didn't bode well for me at the time, and in the long run it cost me my family.  However, I did get help, and I saw a therapist who taught me many skills in dealing with all sorts of emotions that I still use daily.  The most important skill is how to channel my anger into something more constructive.  The problem is, I probably do this all the time, to the point where my current therapist is telling me I avoid my anger and that also isnt healthy.

So Monday will be the day I come along and allow myself to feel my anger, while channelling it into something constructive!  The rant could be about anything.  It could be about my asshole mechanic trying to tell me I need a whole new radiator (Im a trusting person who knows nothing about cars, but I still think I am having the wool pulled over my eyes).  It may be something in the past that I need a little help in letting go like the time I bought a school friend a Harry Potter DvD for her birthday and was the only person at school who cared enough to get her anything and she didnt even say thank you!!!!!RAAAAAGEEEEEE!

Some days it may be a full on foam at the mouth raving lunatic rant, others it may be an entertaining read where I complain about stuff that doesnt really need complaining about.  But the invitation will be here for  you to sit back, forget your own troubles for a while as you realise things could be worse... You could be me...
