I said I'd post an update about how I handled feeling rejected by a friend and worrying that it might signal a fraying of the friendship. The friend, in this case, being H - who when given the option to set a time frame for how long we'd hang out in the entire month of … Continue reading Social Anxiety
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
Starting off with the good - I had my PowerPoint workshop last night. It doesn't seem too difficult. Most of the class involved the instructor showing us all the nifty little things that can be done and then telling us for the love of God, please don't, less is more. I also got confirmation that … Continue reading The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
Transitioning To Fall
Took a walk yesterday morning and the light was lovely. The temperatures this week have felt like summer but the foliage knows what time of year we're heading into.
Processing
I'll admit I felt pretty good this morning about having stood up to my husband yesterday. Telling him no, telling him I had a legal right to live in an apartment with my name on the lease, and that if he wanted me out he could get a court order - but he'd have to … Continue reading Processing
Brains Are Weird
A couple of days ago, H linked a youtube video about the game Dragon Age: Origins from a youtuber that goes by The Spiffing Brit. I tried watching it at bedtime, with the attitude that I'd turn it off if it seemed like a youtube video was too much stimulation while trying to relax for … Continue reading Brains Are Weird
Update: Interpersonal “Fun”
I went to my first meet-up today. When I got home I found that my husband was in a very bad mood. I'll admit, I'm not innocent on that one. I was so upset with how he'd acted yesterday that I told him where I was going, when, for what, and sent him a selfie … Continue reading Update: Interpersonal “Fun”
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
I'm finding it grimly amusing that trying to convince my husband to see a therapist seems to be backfiring on all fronts. I genuinely wanted him to get help and healing and learn how to move forward with his life in healthy ways, but I'm reminded that no therapist can help someone that doesn't think … Continue reading No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Interpersonal “Fun”
So, Thursday afternoon I was dreading Friday, because Friday was when my husband and I were going to have our end of the month check-in, and I was going to have to bring up finances. I decided I'd try and do something positive that would give me something to look forward to later, as that … Continue reading Interpersonal “Fun”
Catching Up On The Week
Wednesday evening, I got a message from (Indiana) M asking if I'd mind coming over Thursday morning and helping her do some packing. This was something I'd already offered, but she probably wouldn't have taken me up on it if it hadn't been for the fact that she had the flu for two days and … Continue reading Catching Up On The Week
Potter’s Bridge
Getting a bit behind here. I've been dealing with heightened anxiety and depression this week, as well as having had the Excel training course Monday night through Thursday night, and it left me with less energy for recording events here. Wednesday morning I decided I wanted to go for a walk somewhere other than my … Continue reading Potter’s Bridge
