Even keel

Yup, that discomfort continues. I’m trying to accept it. To feel it… to float with it and know it won’t hurt me. The simple act of asserting myself and saying NO, has triggered this damn anxiety and the feelings of “the bottom is going to fall through “ ruminations. The good news is that I’m talking to my husband about it (instead of hiding it), I’m finding other things to occupy my brain, and I’m sleeping OK. Praying things stay on this fairly even keel. I’ve been off meds for a couple of years and I don’t want a relapse!

You seem to be good at coping

You sound like your doing what you need to do, it's very empowering once you get a little feel for it, but we are all in the same leaky boat sometimes we have to bail out the water a little harder, but that's okay... like you said... it's all part of the process.
