I had a monumental weekend. I know that this disorder directly affects me and that I have no choice but to deal. What is aweful is that the rest of my family is affected and also has no choice but to deal. This weekend I was very irritable... I mean crawling out of my skin. In therapy my counselor asked me to tell my husband some things he could and shouldn't do when I feel like this. He actual tried it and I was so impressed it really helped me out of my mood. I'm not as irritable now. But it was just so impressive. I noticed that when I get irritated if I go spend some time cleaning or walking or just by myself I can kind of gather myself to gether again. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.
