Ye...Thank you, Sunny, for your kind words and hug. <br />Yes, my husband was standing and watching me the last 2 times, which is why maybe i didn't fall apart completely. Today i was on my own, because he was at work and i wanted to get it done early in the day so i wasn't getting anxious about it. Usually after the first few times i can do it on my own but it's nice when he is there to bounce ideas off when i get all full of anxiety and can't think straight.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-34218993146212282382012-01-12T22:57:20.082-05:002012-01-12T22:57:20.082-05:00Karin, you did NOT fail.

I wish I could possibly relay to you how much I admire you for your courage. I would give you a big giant hug right now if I could. Question for you: Do you have someone that you trust that could do some of these ERPs with you? I find I usually have to have someone holding my hand with the difficult ones or I don't make any progress.71ยบ & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-55041372886449558912012-01-12T22:52:19.594-05:002012-01-12T22:52:19.594-05:00Thanks, Tina. I do feel better now.
When i told ...Thanks, Tina. I do feel better now. <br />When i told my husband what happened today i mentioned that i am now able to hold 'used' laundry against my clothes and not think i need to change. I forgot about that earlier. :) i just hope i've finally reached the rock bottom of the laundry and can work my way back up soon, or i'll be taking clothes off people just so i can wash them for the practice!!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-65569958647662856852012-01-12T21:05:40.089-05:002012-01-12T21:05:40.089-05:00Karin,

Hang in there!<br />I still like your grading system. I think it's good to see what is going OK and what still needs work. Cuts out some of the "all or nothing" thinking that is easy for us to fall into.Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.com
