How I Cope When Coming "Unglued"

I'm linking up again with Kelly's Korner today as a part of the "Build 'Em Up Series." I am a self proclaimed high anxiety person. I was actually diagnosed in high school with anxiety issues but have chosen to never take any kind of medication for it...instead I have to be constantly mindful of how full my plate is and be careful not to overload myself. When I think of the term "unglued" I think of those times when my plate is too full. When things happen that push me over that edge of being able to hold it all together. I don't like myself during those times. I become very antisocial with others and very tense all the time. I snap at my husband. I'm less patient with my children. And even the smallest of issues become huge mountains of tears! The key to dealing with those times is to prevent them from happening in the first place. The way I do that? Limiting myself in what I do and commit to. I am blessed to be a stay at home ...
