B, you might apologize sincerely for misplacing her things. Do your collecting and sorting at night when she is asleep. Keep the collections in sorted boxes for when things goes missing, again. Order socks in the same--her favorite color. Play more of her favorite music (and take the Buspirone yourself when you need it--the only thing I'm joking about.) Try to remember all of her favorite things, comb her hair and massage her shoulders, charm her the way you did when you were courting. Always be on her side; there won't be any scenes.
Bless you both.

Thanks
I have tried those techniques but it just seems to make her more agitated and unable to talk to. Usually by morning and into the rest of the day it is like nothing was amiss. Like someone playing with the off/on switch. This routine has become more of a regular thing over the last few weeks.
