I know what you mean about feeling the need to do something. I felt like that a lot at 3 months. At 6 months I'm feeling less and less that way though. As for the 1 month for every year married thing, well I'm taking that to mean 1 month for every year together. Which means (sorry to say) you have another 3 months, and I have another 9 :-(
Not sure if you saw my post about mindfulness practice. I do think it is helping me feel a bit less controlled by my emotions. As for fear, I remember Old Dog posting about a book he read (Feel the fear…and do it anyway). He liked it enough to follow up with the workshop. The reviews looked interesting on Amazon.
Are there other ways that you can seem less passive? Like establish some boundaries?
