Anxiety - a problem?

November 25, 2014

"Oh dear! Oh dear!
I think I'm one of those old ladies.

Anxiety.  I'm inclined to get anxious about things.
It could be because my partner is a "control" freak and has increasingly "managed" my life without any complaints from me.  It's just the way he is.  Therefore, I don't practise my "coping" skills in the slightest way, and when I feel a situation going sideways I'm sure I won't know how to dig my way out of it.
I feel better now that I have written those words so maybe if I talk about it more and write myself notes about it more, I can "lighten up".
Yeah.  It's funny about those words.  A couple of months back I told myself to start using those words more often, and I think I may be on to something.  When I realize I'm digging another "Oh dear Oh dear" hole, I say to myself "Lighten up!" and I can feel a certain smile inside my head, and a certain pressure releasing like air coming out very softly, and arms gently around me saying "there now, doesn't that feel better?"
I must think this through more.
