Dear Kay,

I'm sorry that you experienced sorrow.

I do hope that this degree of sorrow will abate at some point.

I'm expecting that I will be better soon --- even it if does take until school gets out -- sometime the second week of May when I can get more sleep and get away from lots of people who annoy me.

The trying part is that Hubby has untreated ocd-traits and anxiety.

He gets himself wound up and then frets and then tries to draw me into whatever is bothering him. This is not helpful.

I now understand better. This is a difficult situation on top of a difficult situation. :grouphug:

'Weird that my Klonopin is doing nothing tonight.

I took an extra .5 on top of normal dose and almost nothing.
Maybe I should go lie down in bed anyway. I don't think it would benefit me much to keep taking more and more until it is time to get up -- that would be goofy.

The service was fine.

My old immediate boss played some mean nasty politics behind the scenes -- she caused about three huge problems. I have still shaking a couple of hours later and with 1.0 Klonopin.
She is a pig.

modification of the mantra tdoc last gave me
 
Tdoc last told me to let go of my need to be taken care of because holding onto the "need" magnifies it.

For the past week, I have been saying this mantra:
I totally, utterly, and completely give up my need for anything to go right.

When I say it, sometimes I sob, sometimes I curse, sometimes I shout.

Tdoc and I have a phone appointment. tonight. That's good because I need to know if I am doing this mantra BS correctly.

Dear Mari

yes your immediate boss sounds like a 'case'.

anyway. your mantra post i hope it's ok for me to say well it just cracked me up :D

tdoc might say something tdocky about it needing this or that but, if i get a vote, i say

ur doin it right! :D

~ waves ~ who is going to adopt your today's mantra tomorrow.

Mari 03-29-2011 07:27 PM

Tdoc tweaked the mantra
 
Here is what tdoc said might work for a mantra:

I willingly release my attachment to having things go right.


I might modify this, but the key words to keep are
~release
~attachment.

I like your mantra.
