Still a work in progress @Former-Member but I am not happy with some of the finer points.
Kind of wish I had just put up with the hail damage at the moment.
It is a complex job but felt confident that the guy quoting was up to the task. Problem the job has been subcontracted.

It is an insurance job so will be discussing it with insurer is I don't get any joy with the builder tomorrow.

This is something I saved some time ago and came across again tonight and thought it may be helpful to others. It helps me to see some of these behaviours are not unique and see them for what they are, symptoms of an illness not traits of a defective personality. It is understanding this that has helped me to endure some 'bumpy roads'.

Had a panic attack and almost meltdown in class this morning. I actually walked out of class to come home and check out something building related that I was getting all worked up about.
Finally got confirmation this afternoon of a meeting for tomorrow with the building 'supervisor' (so called) to discuss issues with our re roofing job. Something that was requested a week ago. Something that if addressed earlier (or better still had been done properly in the first place) could have resolved a lot of anxiety. Because it has taken so long to get to the point of this meeting I am quite emotional about it and this is becoming to spill over and affect my ability to manage other 'problems'

On a positive note.
Considering how wound up and on edge I am Darling is holding it together surprisingly well. It is often when I am on edge that the wheels really fall off for her.

Well builder did not bother to show up this afternoon at the agreed time and without the courtesy of a call or explanation. Replied to a polite but blunt email with another week excuse that again contradicted what his guys were telling me. Anxiety is currently at 11/10.
This afternoon I also received an email from one of the boys school regarding an alleged altercation. Another 'witch hunt' in progress.
Still have not received any feedback from the last one.

I was concerned this afternoon that darling was going to go out and tell the roofing guys on site what was on her mind.
This may not have been overly productive so thankful she agreed to let me sort it out.
