Leading With Emotion, don't fix what is broken?

Is Emotional Health Real?

Yes, emotional health is real. It's complicated for each person who has to deal with it.

I personally have experienced this and wish I hadn't. I recently went through a breakup that caused me to feel emotional pain. Pain, I don't think I have ever felt before.

It had me thinking that my heart was bad. I logically thought I'd need to quit using it to survive. Which sounds crazy. I know a lot of people down play hear breaks. But little do they know, you can die from one.

My emotional stress was already on a cliff's edge....

I took a hit over and over again. Not that I couldn't walk away. I chose to try to fix what was broken. And most things that are broken should stay broken until someone else picks them up to fix. I had a habit of allowing that type of behavior.

Emotionally, I was always told I lead with emotion. It's not a lie. I do.

But I have learned to walk away and think. I usually come to better decisions. But that isn't always without a cost.
