I've been struggling with similar things but it all boils down to being too critical of myself.

I dwell and dwell and dwell on small, dumb things I said, mostly things long in the past. I stress so badly about not being a perfect wife and mom. I've not yet accepted that we can't reach perfection in this life. I try to tell myself, but then don't really mentally believe or act on it.Bonnie Gutzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152066953072631806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-16210035600249462652011-11-10T19:28:22.426-07:002011-11-10T19:28:22.426-07:00I happened upon your blog and read this post.

Seriously I was t...OH MY GOSH LET'S BE FRIENDS! Seriously I was the same way when I was younger. It wasn't out of the ordinary for me to miss both pictures days and not be in the year book. My mom said I missed half of kindgergarten because I was so sick from being stressed. KINDERGARTEN! I had more reasons that the typical 5 year old to be stressed, but still. Something I've learned from therapy is that when things happen I have to sort them out in to different categories. My therapist told me to use the "mine" and "not mine" to decide if things are my responsibility and if I should take offense. For example, the teacher not pickign you would be not yours. But now I've taken it further and sort things into "important" and "not important" it sounds silly but it really helps me :) good luck friend!Alexis Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078793693594634917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-28976225827115557842011-11-10T18:17:01.597-07:002011-11-10T18:17:01.597-07:00Loved this post!

I kept saying "oh next week, I will have more energy..." or "oh, next week this will be back to normal."

Do you have any great suggestions (she does see a counselor) to try to nip this in the bud and work on retraining thought patterns to avoid getting too caught up in the depression?
