I have no idea how this is happening

After all of the shit that has happened this week, I have managed to deal with it in ways that are not self-destructive and that honestly scares me. I haven't ever reacted to stress in such a calm manner and part of that makes me think that the worst is yet to come honestly and that this is just a delayed reaction. I'll be waiting for whatever happens.

It might perhaps be a sign of growth and that you are finding new ways of dealing with things, ways of being resilient, ways of coping. It doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.

@GlassDog: The reason I'm so afraid is that this kind of thing happens when things get really bad... I don't react at first and then I end up exploding at a later time

@SvanThor: That's not uncommon, either. Especially with men. We go into a kind of auto-pilot just so we can get through, and then it all comes out later.
