@sun seeker and @Nighthawk, let me join you in this - As it seems, we're fighting the same demons at the time. Thank you for sharing.

...when this accountability friend mentioned getting together with others this coming Sunday at the bowling alley.

I immediately told her that I felt "pressure" by having to say yes to this request. I can't bowl and she really didn't know who would be there or how many people.

When I saw her today, she didn't bring it up and I didn't either.

I don't need to panic after having had a breakdown and needing to raise my meds again. :(

I don't need to panic when I have an angry outburst...I'm not used to this, but I really hit the wall or I would have hit something or someone else. I was really afraid of myself.

@Anrish ...it is good that you work out your anger and save your insides, soul and mind. Can you take up a sport, target practice or martial art? Some of our police academies and/or seminars within the USA offer courses and special training to re-channel the aggression thus help learn to control the body reflexes during heightened situations. Sometimes they pay but with an large discount or it is given free.

Many of those police go on to do public service training seminars for older women and children at the local areas.

In this manner you learn to develop your adrenaline into a flow of chi and use it properly. I have not hurt someone out of anger, only defense ....but I have protected many through life with my knowledge and skill.

I don't need to panic when I present boundaries and am willing to change my life in order to protect them. I am detaching in love and letting go. I can not have an honest relationship with myself, if I choose to remain in outmoded patterns. That is not love, that is stuck. I will not be afraid of healthy change.

I don't need to panic when my son asks for a ride to a friend's house. Despite not taking a shower. I can do this.

I don't need to panic as I continue to shop and spend $$$ on me. It's like that is a no, no for me, as the household bills come first. I just never allowed myself the freedom to replace a pair of jeans, etc.

I can see that this goes back and is part of my survival skills. I will continue to tell myself that spending a few dollars on myself will be okay and also I will feel and look better about myself.

I don't need to panic when people want to hug me...

When this accountability person didn't call me yesterday, as we had agreed to check-in with one another each Tuesday, I began to panic.

My mind was in overdrive about her choosing not to call me anymore. I then also told myself that she has lots on her plate right now, which helped my thinking to calm down.

Today, she called and we talked for a brief while. I realized that I don't need to panic now, and if and when she calls back, I will be okay with it.

I don't need to panic when my significant other bellows. I am not the cause of his choice of reaction and I do not have to accept it as such. :meh:
