Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.

[DustingMyselfOff]

I'm so glad you expressed all that to him.... how quickly they forget sometimes, and how differently they see reality.... I don't think men are capable of (or eager to) try to see things from another person's perspective. They need to be shown and reminded. And you wouldn't have unleashed your wrath last night if he had not done something to deserve it, so don't feel badly about doing it. Besides, blame it on your "condition". It's not healthy for those of us with anxiety to keep anything repressed so you were yelling at him for your health.

You didn't say anything wrong, even the reminder about his Mum. He needed to be reminded of all you contribute to the relationship and appreciate you more, and I'm betting he will now, at least for a few weeks. Their memory is pretty short.

Demand the respect you deserve, even if it's sometimes scary.

It's normal to let loose like that Carnation, I go off on hubby like that when I am having an anxiety episode and he doesn't understand or know what to do, I have agoraphobia as well I can go out but afraid of having panic attacks or being around people. You both look after each other. *gives you big hugs*

Thank you PKstracy
Relationships can be trying at times even without anxiety.
These days I'm not in the habit of bottling things up like I used to, which is why I cleared the air.
It's much healthier to do that. x

Just checking in.....hope everyone is doing ok?

pig sick of all this rain, so hard to keep floors clean. Got a viewing Friday morning, why the hell is it making me anxious

[Carnation]

Aww Darksky
I had that last year and I can assure you that it won't be as stressful as you think it will be.
First of all, you live there and its your home, so don't think it has to be primed up Mary Poppins style.
The viewers already like the look of your house so that's a compliment.
Remember you are still in control, even if they make an offer, you don't have to accept and you don't have to be rushed in to anything!
Treat it like a practice run, carry on with day as you would if no one was coming and be your normal lovely self. xx

Darksky, how did the viewing go?

[Darksky]

Well they were here for an hour and a half We had a cup,of tea and a chat about the business and then a look round. It was rainy and muddy but there's nothing anyone can do about the weather. They admitted they are looking at a few so it's wait and see. But again.....it's this damn anticipatory anxiety that's the killer. The actual things aren't as bad.

Now i I can let the cleaning slip a bit

[Carnation]

Well done Darksky
The more you do, the more you get used to it. x
