I don't know if it's the anniversery, or the fact that the kids or gone this week, or just plain old obsessive thinking.
It's probably all three! It's great that you keep yourself doing things even though you don't feel like it. I've always prided myself in keeping going when I didn't feel like going. I think I'm more afraid of what will happen if I stop going than in handling the discomfort of going, if that makes sense. Hey, from one obsesser (is there such a word?)to another, don't you just love when people tell you "just don't think about it". Sure, no problem!!! Just an afterthought, have you ever heard of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy? I'm reading about it, it talks about accepting and appreciating your anxiety rather than trying to push it away. Interesting idea. I think the concept is not to take your thoughts that seriously, they're just thoughts and we do love our thoughts...over and over and over again!
