WARNING!:

Your emotional sponge is almost at full capacity. Please choose one of the following options:

1) Gently remind people that you are not exclusively a conduit for their emotional maladies, and that, believe it or not, you're dancing with a few of your own demons at the moment and would appreciate some support.

2) Scream and shout and punch walls the way you sometimes imagine doing in your own head.

3) Cry.

4) Say and do nothing. (default option)

(Please note: Choosing option 4 does not, in itself, constitute a proactive approach to maintaining emotional wellbeing, but it is obviously the easiest.)
