    It is a good sign - used to wrestle like that all the time but when I got pregnant couldn't for obvious reasons, then I lost my mojo...

    It was great fun and I would recommend it to anyone;)

    The blogging is helping I think - Hubbles is following it too. I wouldn't write anything about issues we have between us (not that there are many) without discussing with him first, but he is learning about what is happening in myhead which has triggered a few good healthy discussions. I feel I am being heard which is making me feel better so we seem to be building a virtuous circle:T:D

    Good to hear that it's helping :) Just read your last entry and that "everything is too perfect something must go wrong" feeling is very familiar!

    Definitely not! Whenever life is going smoothly (not that that's very often!) I start to panic that something must go wrong any minute.. sure I cause problems sometimes by expecting them, if you know what I mean :o

    I know exactly what you mean. The mood that follows one of those 'episodes' invariably leads me to some pointless argument or accident:o

    I'm the same - if things are going too well or I've had a lots of nice times I just wait for what is going to go wrong to compensate.
    Although just lately I get out of bed expecting nothing to go right. It's a horrible way to live!
    Sorry.

    Guys - do you feel that way because you feel like you dont deserve to be happy perhaps so you sabotage the good times too ensure you are not??

    Ahh the good old "pessimist is never disappointed" viewpoint? Yep know it well :rolleyes:

    And yes, Becky, you're probably right :o
