Hey great to hear from you again.
Whatever helps us get through right? Haha. And poetry, in fact any writing, is constructive and helps us focus our mind rather than let it race everywhere.
Really good to hear that things are a bit better than before and I hope it continues. As before, keep up the honest and open communication because if it's gotten better, thats even more reason to be open, but certainly give yourselves space too.
In terms of managing emotions, I think that's different from person to person. But the mindset needs to be of acceptance. Accept that you feel that way, and that feeling angry or sad is okay. It's a difficult situation so you don't have to be stoic and emotionless. For me, I let it pass then when I feel a little better, I go for a walk with music. Then I rest or go to sleep if it's night. But the accepting mindset is really important. You can't fight feelings because they're there for a reason and you need to let them out.
Yes, if you find yourself unable to control them and talking to her contributes, you should explain how you are feeling and that you need a break. I personally prefer the idea of setting a date that you will contact her, but others may disagree. I just think it's good so you both know where you stand.
Sorry I don't understand what you mean in your last question. Are there issues at home in terms of what they think of your friendship?
