I want to encourage you to at least move on to Day 4 as it's a continuation of Day 3 and might help a little. I'll be praying for you.

For me anxiety would be a negative emotion because it's not an enjoyable one and it's usually based on lies in my case. (too high of expectations for my behavior and life, etc.)<br /><br />Anon - I am so sad for you! I can just imagine how emotionally wrenching anniversaries must be at this stage of your marriage. I think what you'd have to do to work through those feelings is to truth journal every time you feel resentful toward your husband (at least I'm guessing you must feel resentful toward him - I think it would be hard not to).<br /><br />It will be an incredibly painful journey, but God can redeem the situation and give you joy through your willingness to live life for Him in a difficult situation.<br /><br />I'll pray for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181996471092199585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751583950515517369.post-20743299200817965492009-05-12T05:37:00.000-06:002009-05-12T05:37:00.000-06:00OUCH!
This reminds me of where I'm at right now. D...OUCH!<br />This reminds me of where I'm at right now. Day 3 of week 2.<br />I should be further along. But this lesson is killing me. My 33 wedding anniversary was Sat, May 8th. My husband left me emotionally and physicaly 4 years ago when our newborn was 1 yr old. He still lives here, just not with me. He hasn't held a job in over 10 years. And I have eaten my emotions over this for decades. In 33 years he's only worked 11 years.<br />I started taking this to God. But I have a feeling that I will be going over this lesson until I get through it. It could take me a long long time. (cry) I feel really stuck here. But I'm afraid I need do do this before I can move on in the lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751583950515517369.post-92103621745164075452009-05-11T17:45:00.000-06:002009-05-11T17:45:00.000-06:00Amen to that!

I did eat a snack before I went to work when I was not sure I was hungry. Maybe anxiety is a negative emotion but I don't put it in the category with anger,etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979232722507439714noreply@blogger.com
