[QUOTE="JMom, post: 754996, member: 19892"] LuLu, I doubt anyone on this forum thinks you shouldn't complain. We all have anxiety because we want our kids to be the best version of themselves. It's unfortunate that so many people stop taking medications for mental issues. They function so much better medicated. Does he have meltdowns with others (at work) outside the home? I was curious because I have a friend whose daughter is very unpredictable she has Borderline (BPD), but only acts out with her mom. He probably trusts you more than anyone else. Seems we always hurt the people that we love us the most. It seems backwards, but I guess they know we will still love them and forgive. Perhaps you can focus on being present to relieve some anxiety of the future. Your mind is its own worst enemy. Don't be so hard on yourself and be kind to yourself. It's OK to stop and be still and just feel your breath coming in and going out. It's OK to just not think about him. It sounds like you have a great family. Something that worked for me when my anxiety kicked in about J, I would stop and purposefully do something with someone else in the family-no problem solving. Play a game, do a puzzle, take a walk, talk about old times when you were dating the hubs, anything that "takes you away". Being present really can alleviate stress because you are doing rather than thinking. Try not to worry about January 31st. Focus on January 11th, just today. The future only exists in your mind. You don't have to write that chapter, you're not there yet. Breathe sis, you got this! Jmom [/QUOTE]
