Challenges for the Water Designation

There are times when your emotional nature can overwhelm you and you find yourself sensitive to the slightest issues. At time like these, you become wrapped up in the issues to the point that you have trouble articulating your position. You may find yourself simply reacting to what occurs rather than being able to accept and express your feelings and proceed to resolve the issues. The only thing that you can do is be upset. Your moods can swing and once hurt, it can take you a while to get back on even ground.
