Thank you all for the replies (and the group hug)

I'll just continue to do what I'm doing since it's working out for me pretty well. I guess I'm just not used to putting my needs first--it makes me feel a bit selfish. And I'm not used to letting things go that I can't control, but this seems like a good start towards that. Hopefully all that made sense...

Anyway, I plan to talk about the whole thing with my therapist. I just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback I could hear sooner, as my next appointment isn't until January 23.

Thanks again! I appreciate all of your replies.
