The problem with wobbles
The problem with wobbles is that others see them as a reflection of my overall state of mind, instead of just a momentary...wobble! Some have tried to encourage me by saying that I have to be positive. However, I have done that myself and had it thrown back at me. Don't I have the right to be angry (read that also as 'down', 'upset', etc), I was asked? Yes, of course. I suppose the anger (or any other emotion)that worried me at the time was the one that could become self destructive. And of course, in most cases it doesn't go that far. My wobbles are the same. I am not descending into depression, just having a bit of a cry and then moving on. I wonder if people have a problem with strong emotions and that is why they react against them. Thinking about myself, when I had this reaction from a friend, I forced myself to think about why I was trying to diffuse the emotion this person was feeling. It was anger, mixed with hate and I was quite disturbed by it. I'll try not to make that mistake again because it's not about me but about them working through something.

Yesterday, I typed a comment to this posting and than lost it somewhere.
Don't remember the exact comment. It was some play on the concept of "wobbles" and people's reaction to them.
If I recall correctly, it was very insightful, almost good enough to be a greeting card in that section of greeting cards catagorized with the label: "Encouragment". Do you have that section in the greeting card department there?
I've looked and looked and can't find the greeting cards labeled: "Discouragement". Maybe Wal-Mart carries them.
May your week be going well....love...
