e.g. So a situation I get angry / sad about happens. Unless it keeps up the feelings wane over the next few minutes, thinking about the triggering events does not bring back the emotions…if I want to stay angry, I have to really work at it too keep the emotion going, it is never “worth” the effort.
If one thing makes me angry, and I haven’t had a few minutes to let the emotion fade, and something else tips me off then the anger builds at the new thing and fades for the old thing; it just happens faster.
In saying that, I really don’t get angry all that often; as I have worked through most of the things that set me off. Except bullying, that still fucks me off to no end.
It isn’t like that.

Ah, I see, it’s attached to that specific memory. That makes sense!
