I went per my husband on a nice long drive to eat at my favorite place to eat for New years eve,,,,we shopped and stuff too...I had an anxiety attack the night before and they are rare for me so I am out of practice with the self talk and all..so a grump I was....ugh and yes I had reasons to me at my husband a few times bit not as bad as I was...I flew off the handle a couple times. Like at dinner one of the waitresses came over and sat with us...we are well liked and asked how we were I told her I was so stressed cause she had said she had been and all...so hubby said I WASN'T and had NO REASON to be....so when our waiter came over HE ADORES ME we know him well too...I made a snide comment on my husband..then at a store the cashier asked my home phone I said I would rather not give it..I said it nice..then she pressed more ....and hubby sez...WEll they need that to track our purchases...I said I do not want to give it...BUT when we hit the parking lot I tore him to threads for talking for me and all...Is it me was I 100% OUT OF LINE..I didn't lol call him names or anything but I just went into how p&$sed I was at him telling me and others how I feel and talking for me...Hahahah I will not yell at you for your reply
When my anxiety is up like this I tend to worry on health a lot ..I hate when I am like this..thanks

This is the first time I've seen this post for some reason.
It sounds like you had you had a crappy New Year. I'm sorry about that. I know I get more short-fused when I am more stressed. And it sounds like you had at least a few triggers that night.
How are you doing now? Any more anxiety attacks? I know what you mean about being rusty using skills you haven't had to dig out recently. If you want a good resource "The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook" is good. There are lots of good exercises and tips in there.
Take care, sweetie. Here's to a better new year.

I read it Fallen when you posted it. I'm glad you ended up doing "something" for New Year's, even though it wasn't perfect. These types of hyped evenings are never good for anybody. We usually stay home with our kids and play board games. But the past couple years, we've gone up north for some skiing. At midnight, the ski lodge shoots off fireworks, so that is kind of neat for everyone.
Anyway, it sounds as if you had an okay meal and did some shopping too. Any good deals out there?

Thanks GG I was beginning to feel ignored in here the thread has been up for days ...I will look into that book ya know, I use to have a lot of anxiety attacks and could self talk myself to normal but after so long I forget all my stuff and I was sooo good. I can even go into like hypochrondriac thinking if I do not watch it.
My anxiety is down a lot but still I am stressed ..I have gone out a lot as not to isolate worse thing I can do at these times. My T did say its my SAD a while back but hubby REALLY got blasted. I am not normally crabby in fact in town I am like Andy in the old Andy of Mayberry shows ...I live in a small town. My husband is really not helping things with these comments and all but....grrrr ..I do have the Anxiety and Phobia workbook BUT not this one so thanks I will be in a BIG TOWN tomorrow I will go to Barnes and Nobel and check it out :)

I wonder where you go up north lol....Well what we did was nice and fun but my husband's constant picking at what I said and TELLING FOLKS HOW *I felt* really upset me...YES... BATH AND BODY WORKS..had 50-75% off a lot of stuff and the candles I normally pay like 16 dollars I got for 4 or 5.....hahaha I like your title :)

i never give out my phone number when asked. and when they ask for zip codes, i usually give them teh wrong one.
if they ever push me about the phone numbers, i'll eithe rjust say "no" (depending) or i'll give out 555-1212 (the old information number).
screw them.

I agree Ghost and thank you the thing is I am a pretty honest person and will or will not give....saw no point in giving it time number 120 to the same place....but the real bummer is..if I gave a fake number my hubby would just call me on it....he likes to talk FOR me and it angers me so much I could scream..THANKS :)
This whole issue still is a thorn in my side :(

boy. i'd so pick a fight there. ;p giving your phone number out is a form of asking for identity theft in my book. maybe i'm uber paranoid, but that's the main reason i don't do it. it's none of their busienss. they don't need a phone number to sell me a candy bar or some blank cd's.
i don't blame you. i'd still be grumpy about it too.

You know you have a good point there...I never thought of identity thief....I do not mind my zip because they know where to mail ads in an area but my husband...grrrrr lol I still wanna smack him for over riding what I say. Thanks Ghost

fallen
Have you ever asked your husband why he is insistant on answering for you and over-riding your response to people, especially when you have repeatedly told him that you don't like it.
That would irk me too. You're an adult and fully capable of speaking for yourself and who is anyone else to tell you how you feel? I hate when people tell me I have nothing to be depressed about like they are the all knowledgable and know every nuiance of me.

Hey ya AG thanks for posting here..and understanding YES it irks me like all get out. I have asked him why he does that and he just repeats like what he said say at the store " they need your number because" its almost like he is on their side <if sides are to be had> and that drives me crazy...well ok lol crazier :P I could beat my head into a table every time he comes up with one of his YOU DO NOT FEEL THAT WAY kinda comments.....once in a store I was looking for my money and he called me a retard at the counter the girl looked sooooo mad I could tell she was ready to say something..he can be kind and yet..kind of abusive....I am not stupid I graduated from college with a 3.89 gpa (hard to believe the way I type lol) he had he said a 2. ?so why he feels this need to discount me is beyond me and the answer is elusive.
