Ubersensitive

[judecorp]

Yesterday when Jen got home from work, she asked me if I'd eaten dinner already. It really rubbed me the wrong way, mostly (I'm sure) because I'm super sensitive these days and everything seems to hurt my feelings. I mean, I've never eaten without her on a day that she works the early shift, unless I've had some pre-arranged plan to go out with someone (and I don't even know if that's ever happened). I was totally surprised and hurt that she would think that I would eat dinner before she got home and leave her to fend for herself after work.

So basically, all last night I was in this bummer of a mood that I couldn't shake, because she kept saying, "I don't know why I said that, it's not like I think that, I know you would never do that," etc.

Today she came home from work and I told her that I made pasta/spinach salad for dinner for us. And she sits down and immediately says, "Did you eat already or did you wait for me?'

I just want to curl up and sleep for the next week.

I don't think so. I don't remember her asking before this week. (Although maybe I didn't notice before... but I don't think so.)

I think you've correctly identified that you're being super sensitive.

I don't know how to fix that for you but, having been there myself, it's now the time to try and cast things in a positive light rather than a negative light - if you can.

Jen's comment could be taken as 'Wow, sounds great - can we eat it together or did you succumb to the cool sounding meal' or just as an automatic comment because she's just come home from work and dinner was mentioned.

Eat dinner and try to unwind. Hug Jen.

I've been feeling like crap lately too - just sad & depressed for no reason whatsoever. Maybe it's a libra thing?

Yeah, I don't know how to fix it, either. Probably time and less stress. Which is going to take time. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Maybe I can try some sort of "count to 10" thing with my oversensitivity. If I can. Who knows?

Okay. When and where?

Well, I hope it's a Libra thing that clears up really effing soon!!
