This has been a just horrible week for me at times! I may have an extremely stressful weekend, too.

I was already not feeling well today, then my husband's work colleague sent me an email. I confess to overlooking the email subject line and the email that preceded hers. When I read her email I immediately interpreted it as some kind of tragedy. I was literally just on my way out the door to go to my therapy appointment. I quickly responded that she was "scaring me" and asked if I should call my husband. I said I'd look for her response when I got to my destination. When I did I was shaking and slightly crying. I opened my email while sitting in the parking lot of my therapist's office and found her email explaining that what she wrote had something to do with a celebration for hubby. I finally read the email that preceded hers and it was a celebration announcement my husband was not happy about. I had been catastrophizing all kinds of things. Did his sick colleague die? Did hubby get laid off? Did he have a car accident?

I think his colleague has learned that I'm a little "off".
