If you and your w have established goals and you're making headway, even slowly, be happy. That's a good, good sign. Be patient.
As to the anxiety, well, honestly, there's not way around that. You're human. You're a feeling person, what can you expect? It's crappy when she does that. On the other hand, you have to learn ways to relieve your anxiety. Run, exercise, talk to friends, keep yourself busy, be mysterious, do anything but sit around and be tempted to fall of the DB wagon.
Hard? Yes. Impossible? No. You can do it.
Do it. You're moving in the right direction, don't forget that. Michele
