I suffer with anxiety which is worst in the mornings .
This morning I felt very overwhelmed and I need as much routine and cam as possible to cope
Dh is a sahp and we are doing the house up.
This morning he'd taken a door off, put it on the kitchen table and started painting it at 8.00
I asked him (nicely) if, as I was feeling anxious, trying to make my sandwiches for lunch and a cup of tea, while DD nagged me for an apple cutter which I couldn't find, he would mind not starting painting until after the school run as I found it a bit too much to handle first thing.
His response was to blame me for being anxious and tell me how hard he finds it to live with.
I asked nicely again - telling him I need a little support - and he still didn't get it, was really short with me, and carried on painting.
I am ready to accept iabu (I guess a lot of people would be happy he's painting) but all I want is a little support and to delay painting for half an hour, considering he has from half nine til 3pm to do it.
