stop before I had a total meltdown

Oh yes I get frustrated SO HARD and in suspect it's for similar reasons. I don't think I was taught persistence and I'm not particularly resilient. Good on you for recognizing this and finding tools to persist.

Thanks, babe. I think we can built persistence and resilience by doing things we find just a bit too hard, finding a way (any way) to push through that initial resistance and the dopamine hit of getting it done then helps us do it again and again and again.
