Public Service Announcement

[nolly]

When I am crashy and out of cope, do not attempt to argue with me. This will only make matters worse. No matter how irrational I'm being, let me rant it out, then provide gentle suggestions for fixing the problem. Try to do this in a tone that doesn't say "You're wrong, you idiot", because this will only make me more stubborn and cranky. Likely reasons for being crashy are being over-tired and/or underfed. Unexpected changes in plans can eat cope when I'm already low, particularly since low cope makes decision making especially difficult.
