The Meltdown Continues – just on Sunday pause
Last night I fell apart on DH and at first we had our usual dysfunctional shut down, which involves the male response to female emotions. But then somehow when I expressed my fear that the medical world will never meet my needs, DH said he could go with me to appts. to be my advocate/voice. Now I am skeptical that this will accomplish much, but it seemed to be a compromise that allowed DH to offer a “fix” that I could interpret at sufficiently empathetic.
This morning, we sat with laptops side by side, and renewed our budget spreadsheet. It was tense, but we got through it with minimal freak out! I’m thinking I’m going to spend most of this day in bed now.
Strike that, we just went grocery shopping. Ow, my aching back.
