Last class discussion was very interesting and fun. We all had to watch the movie titled Silver Linings Playbook before the class, and we had to think about the relationship patterns in the movie.

I know my act is adding anxiety to my parents and making them uncomfortable because I notice them talking less. However, I still do the same thing to them when I get angry because I only think of myself at that
