Built Up Syndrome: Part I

When you bottle things up inside, you will inevitably explode eventually. How big of an explosion, and how catastrophic and damaging, is all up for debate. It all depends on a variety of factors. I call this the "built-up syndrome." You bottle things up, eventually little things start to irritate you, and you bottle them up, and you start heading for that inevitable explosion. This series of episodes will discuss that idea of the "built-up syndrome" and how you can manage it. In Part 1, I'm sharing a story of what went wrong in my own relationship during 2019, how it led to Built-Up Syndrome, and eventually, an explosion, the demise of that relationship. I also ask for your opinion on several important topics: "Can you be friends with someone after a break-up?" is one of several questions discussed and explored in this release. Please reach out to me with some opinions or experiences of your own regarding this and other questions that I pose in this episode of Third Degree Mind.
