Sage,

Don't worry too much about being in a funk. It happens. I suspect your fear is based upon recent posts and concern that things are going "too well". You know... that feeling you get when things are going well, you realize you're comfortable, then suddenly think you have to keep your guard up a little.

I'm not sure that avoiding answering or giving a false answer helped. Instead of "I'm afraid and sad. I'd like some reassurance from you.", why not "I'm having a bad day."? It lets him know you're having a bad day, but you still haven't gone into detail as to why that's the case. By avoiding answering, you're leaving it to him to decide what's wrong since he can't read your mind. But, there's good news.... he's male so he probably just thought "Hmmm. Sage is in a strange mood today.", and didn't think too much about it. (It's a guy thing.)

BTW, I saw the post the other day about training wheels - it reminded me of a post I made to you a couple of months ago. I think your fear is similar to the bicycle analogy - you get that rush of panic/fear when you suddenly realize the training wheels are off, and nobody's holding onto the bike.



LL,

So giving up smoking doesn't include cigars????
