Today I could feel myself heading towards a meltdown. The house isn't spotless and I felt like my boyfriend was ignoring things that need to be done such as washing up, cleaning out spoiled food in the fridge etc. I also want our garden to be finished asap and am fed up of waiting so I almost went into impulse-buy mode but stopped myself.
I have been doing some worksheets, made a to-do list and done some short breathing exercises and although I still feel a bit tense, I know I have avoided a meltdown. Usually I would spiral and end up making an argument out of nothing and we wouldn't talk for the rest of the evening. Only a small step forward but a step forward nonetheless 😊
