Good Job, Livelife!
It is so hard to hold back...but you did it!
Hi Hope--It went well...we're or DH is going to talk to DS about seeing my DR for some therapy. I brought it up, and was more hoping for family therapy, not him individually, as that would cost more. And last year he went in to see the other Psychologist and that's when things all went a muck! This one I've been seeing with DH since last Fall, so we know he is good and he still wants to work with just DH and I.
I did have an anxiety moment today as I was about to work on my scrapbook room which I've been wanting to do for a long time. But now I need to prepare it for company in July. That means I have to be able to walk into it!
It is basically organized but has had stuff put into it that needs to be looked at and put in order. Anyway, I had put a table downstairs where DS had cleared the room for himself and friends w/o me knowing. (you probably remember this story) Anyway, I had anticipatory anxiety b/c I was afraid of what DS would have to say when he saw that I put a folding table up and put stuff on it from the scrapbook room to sort through.
He is out of town working, but will be home in the wee hours of the morning. I was so stressed and anxious I actually called my Dr's office. Later, I was able to calm myself and use positive self talk and reasoning. Then called a friend and I was able to go into the scrapbook room and further my sorting. I still have some boxed in the hallway, but I can now walk into the room and was able to throw some stuff away, give some away and also gave some coloring books and toys immediately to my Grandchildren as they came by.
Now I have a few things I'm going to wash and then give away or keep. So Baby Steps...positive self talk...talking to someone all helped! I called the Dr's office back and told them I didn't need to have him call me.
Paislee It also helped to eat something...
