I am very careful in regards to accepting memories as being real so I always look at the details and try to verify them. Below are a few.
I remember leaving on a trip across country to a convention my faith’s company was exhibiting products at. I went and found a history of the organization...
Little annoyances can really throw us off. What I do, which may or may not work for you, is to pay attention to what is going on inside of me. Am I getting over stimulated. Are too many people talking at me at once? I take some deep breaths and do a reality check. Am I over reacting ( usually)...
I am sorry to hear that. Maybe talking to a marriage counselor would help. I know what a struggle it is with a non supportive spouse, I had one. Mine seemed to have a vested interest in me not improving. Once we separated I got into therapy. It has been a hard road but I have made progress...

At times when it all seems too much I go to extreme thinking. Words like never usually tip me off and I have to do a reality check on my thinking. Another thing I have to remind myself of is that every major upheaval in my life has lead to a new and better life that I could not imagine before...
