I recognize that I am having a very reactive day, and instead of allowing that to happen. I used a calm voice and mannerisms to tell my husband that I was might be unpredictably responsive today, that I didn't want to cause any problems, so I needed less interaction today.

I helped him to know how to respond back to me by writing it down. I told him, I am not trying to be bossy, but I have read men often say they want the woman to tell them what she wants to hear - (and my husband said he likes when I do that.) I asked him to tell me this: "Thank you for monitoring your illness so well that you can warn me when you are having a bad day. It helps us to avoid unnecessary fighting. I love you and I will give you the space you need today. I hope you are feeling better soon".

I am trying to keep busy with a craft. I have done some things wrong today with food, but I am trying to focus on the good and keep myself balanced as I ride this wave of emotion from a precarious sense inner balance.
