Let's start this off by saying my husband recently got a new job and he just came out of a period of unemployment for several months, which we were both traumatized by (tons of anxiety and depression and freak-outs over money). My world was turned upside down and I'm working on rebuilding my stability and feelings of security.

Found out today that hubby needed to talk to his boss about someone he's working with and under because he/she is extremely difficult to work with. He told me on the phone that he was going to tell his boss that he CAN'T work with this person. I freaked out (high anxiety) ALL day worrying/obsessing about him losing his job again due to being irrational.

After I get home from work, we talk about what was REALLY going on, and it turned out that this individual is accusing hubby of doing nothing and not working while at work. So, what he was really working on today was building a case to show his boss with all of the things he HAS been working on and also to talk about not working with the person who accused him of not working.

SIGH. (of relief and of frustration)

I don't need this ****. I'm so ready to feel SECURE in our jobs and income. I have my own business, so my income fluctuates and that causes me constant anxiety as well. It feels like my bipolar, OCD, and GAD are a struggle half the time, and then real-life stressors happen the other half of the time. Can everything just calm the **** down for a while so I can stay stable????
