I'm glad you found an answer for symptoms that have been causing you distress. Hope the treatment is successful.

I'm just not sure I'm working toward being a person who says whatever about everything.
I didn't mean to suggest a whatever attitude, I see the whatever attitude as unable/unwilling to acknowledge anyone's feelings. What I meant is the opposite, that I have feelings about things and other people have different feelings about those same things. If that difference upsets me in some way, it's up to me to figure out why that is and work on why it's upsetting and what I can do about that. Usually that means recognize something in me.

Right now there's a situation in which I'm battling my need to be right, to fix. I have the facts and figures and research to back up my position but the decision isn't mine to make. And, I wasn't asked for input so I need to keep reminding my self, this is not mine. Me sticking my nose in could damage a R with a family member I hold dear who is very capable of making her own decisions, so I will work on me, do lots of deep breathing and keep repeating "This is not mine."

HOpe this makes sense, I'm writing it trying to keep an eye on an active almost 2 yr old.
