His way feels like it is absent of control. It feels anarchical. It is not that he has the control and I don't - it feels like NOONE has control.
I would prefer him to have control over anarchy - then at least *someone* is minding the store.

That was incredibly brave. Aren't you glad he wants to start on the bunny slopes instead?

No. Not really. I'm a fast learner (in anything logical, or procedural, or mathematic - gee, you mean Psychology is not that way? Like light and taste are different even though they both have to do with the senses?). I keep thinking I'll get "it" - though I don't seem to be learning that I don't get "it" (over and over and over). I don't want to be on the Bunny slopes. That reminds me that I'm not getting "it". I want to zip to the bottom (protected by the strong shell of the bobsled) and be done with it. I don't want to have to learn this stuff (it is so foreign to me that it is just frustrating to try to learn it). I just want to know it. At the bottom of the bobsled run is the chocolate.> Anxiety doesn't just dissipate. It takes time to soothe it away. Stop beating yourself up. But don't eat all the chocolate. I still need some.

I buy chocolate daily. Yesterday I found some Mint Hershey Kisses (regularly $3.29 a bag) on Christmas closeout for 82 cents a bag. I bought 4. I may go back and get the rest.
