I noticed that too! A double edge sword... you forget some good things, but the bad things fade too! My husband has started using that to his advantage, if we fight, he will say "let's talk about this tonight" and by the time tonight comes, I've forgotten why I was so mad.

Like many of you, I am resistant to asking for help. I want to do it, no matter what "it" is and I want to do "it" myself! Even if its just about impossible for me to do, will lead to frustration and lying on the floor crying. It makes me feel so... weak... to ask for help.

And I have been practicing saying no when people ask me to do things. Its very difficult because I've always said yes in the past. But now if I say yes, then I just add stress to myself because I won't be able to do it and then disappoint who I said yes to and that also makes me feel bad.

Tricky stuff.
