How I did it: I was losing it.  Worrying about my job.  My dh started talking to me and for once I opened right up.  As we talked about it I came to realize that it was very unlikely that I would lose my job and that IF I did, I would find another, as a teacher or not.  We would not be out on the street and we would not starve.  This realization made me relax incredibly.  I have leftover feelings of the time I did lose my job (years ago) and lost my mind.  Now I have my dh and know that it will be ok.  Having someone to talk to and rely on is a wonderful thing.  Looking at the reality instead of imagining the worst is what worked for me.

Lessons & tips: Calm down and look at the real facts.  Breathe.
