Thanks! I just tried it. I told her all that was going on and was honest about the SI. She asked how she could support me. I said I don't know. That L normally empathizes, reassures, and mirrors. She gave me 3 options: coping skills (which I already know), vent (which I kind of already did), or resources. I chose resources and quickly got off the chat. If those were my only 3 options...she was of no help.

I'm taking an anxiety pill tonight. I can't deal with this.

Oh, and can you all guess what H wants to do? Sell his Tesla (3rd time), and buy another (cheaper, but new) car. It would reduce our monthly, but we might still owe a down-payment. Not to mention taxes, licenses, and registration.

Is it ever going to stop?
