Finding the right words can be difficult, and stepping out of your comfort zone uncomfortable. It’s necessary at times. I've been writing and rewriting several messages for a while. Finally, today, I sent a few. I'm grateful for the mental strength and clarity I didn't possess a year ago.

This gives me a lot to think about. I pretty much say what is on my mind 99% of the time. I can't help but wonder the importance of that 1%.

You’re doing great, keep it up! If nobody told you today that you’re a winner, let me be the first🥰
I was impulsive with my tongue before too and an exercise that my sponsor had me do is to say is it kind? Is it loving? Is it helpful before I said anything. Most of the times was no, and it was just my ego trying to make me look or feel more important. Restraint of pen and tongue for this guy lol.

Well said and understood.
That is a very helpful exercise. I am glad I am reading this now and not yesterday because I just went off on my VA doctor's and sad to say, though it was not kind, it was helpful. Unfortunately it seems that I am not heard until I am in full blown metdown. Thankfully, that seems to be a VA issue moreso than societal.
All this to say, I will try these exercises going forward.
