And to think it all started with something as simple as a <a href="http://myrtlebeachacandheating.blogspot.com/2016/10/check-on-your-heating-5-reasons-your.html" rel="nofollow">boiler</a> breakdown. My daughter struggles with anxiety. Hearing of other's struggles helps me to understand her better so thank you for sharing. I hope you fare better now and I wish you good luck.Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258294429737949866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-18795576516733469692014-03-12T16:05:05.983+00:002014-03-12T16:05:05.983+00:00Thanks for your kind words and support, Linda, but...Thanks for your kind words and support, Linda, but I'm not sure I merit the compliment at present - I don't think I've been facing things at all well lately!Helen Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932545445679328061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-33815542705861960762014-03-11T11:13:59.048+00:002014-03-11T11:13:59.048+00:00The problems you face and the way you face them ma...The problems you face and the way you face them make me feel ashamed.

I recall you writing about that work being done at your house and how you disliked things being out of place.<br /><br />Unfortunately, February continued in the same vein, with my boyfriend suffering a broken collarbone in a cycle accident. Still, as he said, it could have been worse - he got thrown into the path of fast-moving cars, but somehow wasn't hit. I think I need to work harder on seeing the glass as half full, when something is troubling me - there is so often a positive to be taken even from a difficult situation.Helen Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932545445679328061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-28547735774252069502014-03-10T20:28:13.373+00:002014-03-10T20:28:13.373+00:00Thanks, ocdtalk - I decided that March was going t...Thanks, ocdtalk - I decided that March was going to be better and am determined to view this month in a positive light, come what may!

I understand about not wanting someone in your flat for the boiler installation. I'm like that, too. I have trouble with strangers coming into the house. We recently had to get a new heat pump, and that's what I worried about the most.<br /><br />And I understand about giving into the compulsions. Sometimes it seems that the brief relief from doing the compulsion seems better than the continued suffering.<br /><br />Take care!Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-27359483178594749452014-03-10T13:29:25.639+00:002014-03-10T13:29:25.639+00:00I'm sorry you've been having a rough time ...I'm sorry you've been having a rough time and hope you are already feeling a little better. Your comment about compulsions being the lesser of two evils at times is interesting. I've never heard that description before....gives me some things to think about.
