Hi Eric

You don’t need to apologize. This is your space, your journal. Please use it as you wish 🙏

It can be difficult to discuss thoughts and feelings. Not everyone is open to that kind of a conversation in daily life.

I can honestly say that I understand what it is like to have anxiety and painful thoughts associated. It is a long and challenging process, but it is possible to get through it in time. It hasn’t disappeared completely for me. But there are times when I don’t feel anxiety and times when it pops back up. However, it’s not as severe as it used to be.

It’s good that you are trying to figure out ways not to feel insecure.

Planning to improve the relationship tells me that you care about it.

You are really developing your planning skills. I remember when you used to struggle with that.

It sounds like you have a belief that if you make a mistake that you will be rejected.
