Ranting



Wikipedia has this definition of Rant :

"A rant is a speech or text that does not present a well-researched and calm argument; rather, it is typically an attack on an idea, a person or an institution. Very often rants lack proven claims. Such attacks are usually personal attacks...."

Rant is the word that has characterized week after week of stressful work. Believe me, i have done every possible interpretation of this word in the last 2 months, and all in the context of work. More than guilty for the emotional scar i have caused people and myself, I am scared as i feel that my dark side is slowly taking over my persona.

I have gone and crossed the line and made irrational and sometimes personal attacks on colleagues, either in their face or behind their backs, all because of stress from work.

I fear of this dark side (re)emerging and i think i have been in this kind of state before several years back, and believe me it took me years of great emotional pain to mend the emotional impact and negative character that was the consequence of those dark years.
