Hi Guys. Update
I think it took me about two days to pull myself out of this. I"m glad I could come here and process externally.

For me, once I get into a bit of a downward spiral, I have to let the momentum play out a bit. Do what I can to stay positive, go to bed, start over the next day. That's exactly what I did, and it worked like a charm.l Does every time.

I just keep reaching for a better feeling thought. Pull myself out with the power of my focus in the now. I've learned to be patient with myself, and usually feel better by the second day.

A shift in perspective is all it takes. Today I'm happy to spend time with him, happy to be by myself, and careful to guarde my thoughts and not indulge in doubt or fear. I think I've learned the fine art of self soothing. Replace ranting with soothing. It's amazing.
