irritability

Hi Michael...

The joys of parenting... *sigh*.. Everyone snaps once in awhile, whether it be at our kids or at our spouse, it's part of being human. I've been guilty

of it a few times myself... and like you I feel terrible. You recognized what you did though and continued your nite with your daughter. She is none the wiser

nor will she be thinking about it like you are... We are our own worst critics and you Michael are just being hard on yourself. Coming off of meds

can't be easy, I have yet to be successful so I'm sure that can be a bit draining at times as well as the energy you've used while coming off of

them watching every small change in yourself.

You sound like a dedicated father, husband and the fact that you're concerned about the way you acted just reinforces what a great parent

you are.

Even Moms and Dads are goobers sometimes...

Congrats again on weaning and stop worrying about the little things... you're kids think you're amazing... savour that! and be a littel easier on yourself.

still trying....

Hi Mya..

I would still love to chat. I apologize but life is VERY busy. I'm doing schooling through correspondence as well my daughter is in a theatrical production this week and I haven't had a chance to reply. Did I mention that I have a 2 year old boy that runs me in circles all day.. LOL. a lot of joy but not a lot of time to correspond. Sorry for my ignorance but I'm not sure what our time difference would be. 3 hours I'm assuming... so let's pick a time to chat.

I'll watch for your message...

Is it 'normal'...

Hi...

I too agree. I have felt like that and a perfect example is that I was panic / OCD free for years and I recently have been dealing with a setback and even with all of my gained knowledge etc from my previous triumph.. I was overwhlemed at times and thought.. this will never get better.

Here I am though a month and a bit later and I'm feeling GREAT again.. it was a hard few weeks but I perservered and again I'm seeing the light and working through it. I think for me personally, it will always be with me.. it's my personality a bit too.. Type A.. lol.. but each and everytime when I reflect on it (when I'm able to be more forgiving of myself) I find I have learned something and have grown from it.

If life were easy it would be boring... lol...

You're perfectly normal and "this too shall pass". Ups and downs through your journey are normal and expected. Allow yourself to "feel"..it's ok.

DIVA - way to go girl!! With all that's going on you're doing amazing!! You have obviously grown and learned too from this "challenge" we face..

Take care.

No need to read, just doing some major venting...

Diva..

I think you've shown the most courage by sharing your story. I have been married 12 years myself to my highschool sweetheart (together 19 years though), and it is NOT an easy journey. Marriages are work . It sounds as though you've put a lot of thought and heart into yours and in time your decision will come. It's sometimes easier to stay than to walk away in fear of being alone. When and if your marriage is to end, you'll make the decision that is right for you at the right time. It's not an easy one, so don't rush it. You do deserve to be treated well though, so always remember that.

As for your cat, I'm sorry to hear that something you love is at risk.

Although I've never been a pet person, I have 2 little bambinos, and they mean the world to me. I imagine that "family" is "family" ... I send well wishes your way.

I hope during this tumultuous time you do take a moment to recognize all your recent triumphs, mainly school!! Wowl, that's inspiring.

As for work etc. I think us type A's often think people are paying more attention than they really are. Based on your successes I think you're the only dissappointed in your work performance, so relax a bit and give yourself a break.

You've got some major decisions to make and you need to take one day at a time..

Take care Diva... and this too shall pass... it just may take a bit longer this time :)

I did it!!

Mya and Birdie...

In a time when a lot of us are feeling "blah" or "not so positive"..lol.. It is so nice to hear about your successes!

I too am feeling much better and a lot of it has to do with this forum and it's members who have the courage to bare their intimate stories and fears.

You have all inspired me to keep trudging along and often make me feel as though I'm "normal" in a world that often feels a bit too "perfect"..

Mya.. I would still love to talk...hopefully we'll connect soon :)

A visit to the dentist

Hi darkblue

Sounds like you've got a lot going on many of them positive so congrats to you. As for the dentist, I totally know where you are coming from. The dentist can be scary and full of anxiety for the "everyday" person so for those of us with anxiety issues it can be very overwhelming. After the birth of my second baby I had to have a ton of work done..and was TERRIFIED. I put off going for as long as possible but then decided to bite the bullet and told my dentist my fears. She was amazing. Although there are options such as being put to sleep, laughing gas, or even an antianxiety pill before hand I found that booking my work in shorter increments worked best. She talked to me the whole time checking if I was ok etc. The worst part was my own fear. Now my teeth are back to tip top shape and I'm so proud of myself for perservering.

You could try talking to your dentist, taking someone with you or ask about being put to sleep and having all your work done at once. An option my mother-in-law chose - worked wonderfully for her.

You can do this darkblue!! The dentist fear is so normal. It is important though to find a solution as an abscess tooth is much more unpleasant experience to think about.

Your days will get better and it sounds as if you're already having some better ones.

Remember this too shall pass... My great days far outnumber my bad days now. Just be patient with yourself. We are definately our own worst critic.

And hey.. we all need to rant sometimes ...

Good Luck....
