Sick to my stomach...

[xandyx]

Sorry if this is weird to write about but...

I was waiting to get a hair cut today and before I got called I saw someone sitting there that looks so much like my "dad" who I really hate and don't live with or anything. Long story and don't wanna say a lot about it here. But like I got so sick to my stomach and angry and stuff I ended up saying to my guardians loud and frustrated I wanted to just go. I didn't want the hair cut person touching me or anything. Idk...

Argh...I feel so blah, mad and stuff. I feel dumb to that I got upset at that hair cut place even tho she didn't see me or anything. Idk.. Grrr... :mad:

It's normal that you reacted. Don't feel bad.

I understand what you mean. Sometimes, seeing things that remind you of the past can trigger thoughts and memories. Seeing someone who looks like your dad and then feeling the emotions and feelings that you associate with him is all very normal. I'm sorry that it made you feel bad. Maybe next time something like that happens, you could try talking to someone or distracting yourself. You could read, listen to music, or even count things (such as ceiling tiles). You may also want to remind yourself that it isn't really him and take deep, calming breaths. It wasn't dumb that you got upset.
