Over emotional reaction

Emotional Regulation & Rejection Sensitivity

I know my period is on the way because today someone was grumpy and unreasonable at a meeting at work and I cried!!! How embarrassing. It was online so I signed off the meeting before I welled up. The persons direct and higher manager both reached out unprompted to apologise for the way the meeting had gone because they could see I had done nothing wrong and was for some reason being unfairly treated. They both vowed to deal with the individual.

I know I did nothing wrong

I know logically that people have bad days and it’s more about them than me …

but I can’t stop ruminating and getting tearful.

Any tips to get over it and enjoy my weekend? I wonder if I just need to accept 1 day pre period my response is not logical and it’ll pass when it passes.
