Thinks 180 May be Backfiring

Be patient. This takes time. Think marathon, not sprint.

As for the PCOS, have you ever considered acupuncture? I was a total skeptic when I started to go, but I feel so good afterward and I no longer have *any* PMS. I know it's good for PCOS and endo especially. If you decide to give it a try, find someone who is a LaC instead of an MD who has limited training. An LaC will also be able to give you herbs that help it all. Like I said, I was a skeptic (and told my H he was seeing a witch doctor back when he tried it), and I'm a total believer now.

GAL is for *you*, not for showing off to your H. I'm more of a homebody too, but GAL helped me a lot. I found Meetup groups to join, and it was fun to go out and socialize with people. It helped me get over my social anxiety and let me feel less isolated when my H was in his alien mode.

I know my H was initially ticked off when I started my 180s. First, he was irritated that I was finally doing what he asked (of course, he'd never asked, just been passive aggressive before) and I was now taking away his excuse to walk away. I put it in my head that if he decided to leave, he was going to have to leave NOT because I hadn't responded, but for his own unwillingness to work on the M (and pursue the woman he was crushing on).

Ultimately though, I did it for me, to make me a better person who was a whole lot happier. That summer changed my life!

Hang in there.
