This morning I was fine...
Until just before I left for work. I realized that I hadn't gotten a call from my husband and it was past the time he normally calls- which isn't unusual cause he drives truck and can't always get to the phone cause he's in and out - but I go into panic.
I tell myself, "Just hold on, wait till you're at work, maybe he'll call." So I forced myself to wait. He didn't call. I decided to call him even though I made a rule for myself not to all cause sometimes he's in a bad service area for cell phones...or he's dumping a can and can't get to the phone right away...so if I get voice mail, I panic.
When I called he didn't answer the phone. I panic. I try to calm down. I try to tell myself that he's busy.
Finally, he did call back and my symptoms disapear in an instant. I'm calm, I can think and all is fine.
What I want to know, is how to deal with this. I know the reality of the situation, how he can't always get to the phone, but yet my mind goes insane!!!!
Any tips to calm yourself???
:wacko:
