^Communication is the key to everything. Relationships in every context suffer if it's impossible to voice a concern and make sure their somewhat on the other side of the balance willing to address it and make things work.
This doesn't sound like much compared to what a lot of you go through and express in here, but venting is healthy and ILF is as good a place as any. Had a strong anxiety attack today. I don't even know how it was triggered. I was doing yoga and all of a sudden I disconnected from it and started falling down the stairs... I haven't had one so intense and so long lasting (almost 2 hours) in years, and I think it's the first one ever that didn't happen immediately after pushing through a stressful social situation. The gist of it is that I feel I pressure myself a lot to make progress on every front (work, personal improvement, health, relationships) and have little to show for. Because if I've made actual progress that is measurable towards the goals I have defined, none of it is significant enough to "change category". It's what I remember the most from my own mumblings during. I guess it comes with the territory of being at the end of the yearly cycle and feeling stuck in the same position as last year.
