And separately, Nora: you deserve to not feel lousy about yourself, and I'm glad you're going to call that therapist.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well done, Tep. I know that's hard work and you keep doing it.
I feel like I'm just a lousy person and people generally don't like m
I mean, I also feel this way semi-frequently...it's why I'm on antidepressants.
I have the most emotional DH on the planet and need to vent so I don't smack him. He gets absurdly over the top upset about the tiniest things. He is painting our boat. A huge task that involved stripping the entire thing down to the metal. Several coats of various colors and striping and lettering and so forth. He is at the clear coat stage, like the 2nd or 3rd clear coat and some hair or debris gets on the side and he screws up a section trying to get it off. He gets inconsolable, cursing, sobbing, trying to fix and making it worse. I'm trying to be the calm reassuring voice of reason. It is fixable, he is looking at it upside down and close, the rest of the world will see it bobbing in the water. The section can be redone. Clearly talking to myself since he just doesn't think I understand the enormity of the crisis.
I accept that we are the way we are, but to me getting physically ill and upset over shit makes it worse, not better. And he doesn't get why I don't get upset. Clearly I don't comprehend what a complete tragedy has occurred.
Sigh, and I am over it. He'll calm down and fix it and forget he even got so upset. Still, grateful I am a calm fellow. Guess I should check my BP.
I didn't know you had a boat, Laura!
After skipping my ADHD med yesterday I took two today, kind of as an experiment I guess. I definitely do not need this much regularly. I AM SO ALERT
We actually have 3 boats for reasons. The boat he is painting is a 17' ski type boat that was my sister's in Otter Lake in like the early 80s. He stripped all the paint, Took out the entire guts and has rebuilt the whole thing. Not telling my sister so we haven't put any pictures up. He has done an amazing job. He knows nothing about this kind of work. Total YouTube training.
Oh, wow, cool!

I vote wizard.
