So maybe your anger about being told what to do pushed you to do something you didn't want to do? Can you talk to "him" about how the negative vibes and the being told what to do only make the situation worse?

If he's trying to help you, he'll probably listen because...and I hope I I'm not letting the cat out of the bag on this one but, he knows that he is not really in control of this thing.

Actually, he might be frustrated, panicked, and scared and with no idea what to do to help. He's trying to win one small victory in a race that's actually a marathon--a marathon where you and only you truly control the outcome.

Maybe open up and tell him what's really going on (not what he wants to hear) and see if you can get him to be your coach and not the object of your anger.

Tomorrow's a new day, this one's done and forgotten. Step up to the plate and hit one over the fence because....YOU CAN!!!!
