[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, your approach ... your intensity, you really should adjust your thinking[/quote]

OP here. [b]I know I should, esp after reading all the feedback here. I just don't know how yet. [/b]

My husband and I were in line for a boat ride the other day, and I was like, "Wow, how are we so far behind in line, we got here 30 minutes early!"

And he was like, "I think we're pretty far ahead in line."

And we realized that he was looking at the 30-40 ppl behind us in line, and I was looking at the 30-40 people ahead of us. And I was like, wow, this is so emblematic of the difference between how we think.

1. Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy 
2. Gratitude journal every morning 
3. Each day a goal of naming three positive things about a situation for which you have no control. 
4. Take up meditation. 
5. Before a big, special event name 5 ways it’s going to be great regardless of what happens 
6. More therapy. Maybe look at being screened for anxiety. 
7. Create a back up plan if you find yourself spiraling down with overwhelming disappointment like you were at the restaurant. It could be something like excusing yourself for 5 minutes, listening to a meditation app for 5 minutes to reset and then return with a positive outlook.
