I am feeling a bit better for the past two days. Mostly that is because I hit bottom on Sunday. A reminder of a separate problem set me off on a depressed rant that you may have pictured from my last post. The problem had nothing to do with babies, but I was already at the edge and this tipped me over, bringing everything down with it. And this time my husband couldn't deal with me either. I think it was seeing his meltdown that snapped me out of my depressed haze. He also made me realize that I need to cut out all other stress points in my life so that there is not something to push me over the edge. So I told my sister she has to host Christmas dinner, canceled my annual cookie baking day, ditched any idea of sending out cards, and did a bunch of Christmas shopping online in one fell swoop. I still think about our situation constantly, but at least I can function now.
I think it is great that you are doing what you can to try and cut stress for you. I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the best this Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteSometimes removing the other stressors in our lives is the hardest part, but so worth it in the end. Do anything you need to in order to get through. It's what we have to do.
ReplyDeleteI also am planning on online shopping tonight and Christmas cards...ha! Not this year!
