OceanCarol Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 1. Today while my husband and I were eating at a restaurant, I didn't get mad at my husband when he was sarcastic to me when answering back, I tried to focus on what I was doing not on his tone of voice. I think I was breathing ok too. I felt pretty good afterwards, I think I would have usually said something to him, like "you don't have to be sarcastic" and then it would lead to another fight. 2. I told my husband how I felt about something very personal, I thought he was going to get mad, but he understood. I think he is trying to treat me different, with a little bit more respect and understanding3. I challenged myself at something and I didn't back out of it. I focused on my breathing and just being in the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanCarol Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I have not gotten in any arguments with my husbaand this week. I asked my husband for help with the baby so I could take a nap, and he understood. I think our communication is improving.I am still volunteering at the archeological site even though I am not doing it alone, my husband is going with me I think that is still an achievement.I told my husband that I was sad....I never tell him how I feel so this was a big step for me. I never got angry that I was feeling sad...I just felt sad or depressed. I am sad that I am depressed but not angry at myself for being depressed. (I don't think that made any sense at all, but it did when I was typing it...lol) I am understanding that I have a social phobia and am learning to over come it with practice. Its been 51 days since quitting smoking (Trying to find the positive)I know that if I eat sugar or sweets that makes my depression/anxiety worse (Achievement because I can stay away from it even though I had one tonight for being depressed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
