The CafeMom Newcomers Club
maybe both? My husbands ex called me tonight just as I walked in the door and verbally attacking me and accusing me of trash talking her to her 15 yo daughter. Never even happened. Bm is way out there, any way now I cant sleep. I always tend to dwell on conflicts that get nasty. I will probably still be thinking about this crap this time next week.
So cant sleep but am super tired and I even took some tylenol PM. So I am here making lots of post to try and get my mind off of the crap that has invded my brain and still I am dwelling.
Do any of you dwell or are you able to let it slide right off? If you let it slide how do you do it?

I tend to dwell on stuff that bugs me, too. I replay it over and over in my mind and also think about what I should have said if I could think faster on my feet! I had a confrontation with some idiot who was parked on a wheelchair access ramp the other day. I am a wheelchair user, and this lack of consideration really burns me! Her car was parked right on the ramp, and I confronted her and told her to move her car. She refused, of course, and told me not to talk to her that way - I never cursed at her, I just confronted her about her choice to park there and told her that by her actions she was denying me access to the businesses there! I stewed about it for a long time. I woudl also liek to learn how to let this kind of thing roll off my back.

by SugarSuzie on Oct. 8, 2008 at 4:54 AMI'm a total dweller. That's why it's almost 5:00 and I'm down here on the computer and not up in bed with my DD and DF. Sigh... every night something keeps me awake, so I just play on the computer until I can't stay awake anymore. Cafemom helps me. The later it gets, the more I read and the less I reply (I guess this is an exception). Eventually, I just get tired and fall asleep. Maybe it's reading about others' drama keeps my mind off mine!! lol
