Thanks for the tip Labug. And thank you barely and quorum. Well, what a day. I'm pretty drained and sort of numb tonite. Spent all day doing yardwork with h. It's just so sad. We spent so much of our time out on the deck, just like today. Knowing it's all going to end. Just plain sad tonite and trying not to think too much.

These last 2 days have put me into a tailspin. Damn rollercoaster. Just want it to be over. The mindreading, expectations, crazymaking. It just makes me not want to ever see him again. I don't know how you guys with kids, where you have to see all the time, deal.

I just want to go very dark. I'm seeing my L. tuesday, to go over final draft of d. papers. Might just not get back to him for a time. Just sick of this and wish I could just wake up and not have to deal with crappy life. It is so hard, I feel like I'm in a ten round boxing match, and I've only had the first punch. Sick of it. Just wish I could have some peace and relief. I know it is not going to come from him. I know, GAL, who cares, i have to get packed in the next 2 weeks and move myself into my new "great life". Whohoo. Have good thoughts about myself, GAL, don't think about him.

This place helps but I feel like I fabricate strength, like I'm talking myself into feelings that I don't really feel. I feel like such a fake db'r. I know what is said to help on this board, but not feeling it tonite. Hope I wake up tommorrow and things look better. Maybe I'm just having a pity party tonite after all this contact with h. So tired, going to try to sleep. This is not to say I feel REAL support here from great people. This negativism is just me and looking at my truth. I really appreciate my friends here. Just don't know if I'm worthy.

ok, I'm worthy. I just feel really bad tonite. Having these two days with him is killer. Like I said, I don't know how you guys with kids, who have to deal daily with S. So much emotional turmoil. But it keeps you in contact. I'm afraid after d. is final in 2 weeks, we will have no contact. How can he see my changes? Anyone out there who has similar sit, How to keep any contact for us??? I am really feeling hopeless. Like this is it. Over and done with, Can anyone help me?

I think we all fabricate strength in the beginning but in continuing to do that eventually you begin to unearth the real strength you have inside you. The trouble comes when you don't act from that place of strength and continue to allow his actions to dictate your feelings.

Stop those thoughts when they arise and do something nice for you, learn something new, go to a new place, start a new activity, volunteer somewhere.

By getting enmeshed in a relationship, we lose the person we were before the R. Reacquaint yourself with that person and build on that.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

HIW.. welcome to LBS adventureland! where the rides never seem to end and they leave you completely spinning!

the old adage.. fake it 'til you make it rings true here. if you have had a chance to read a thread here from the beginning.. you'll probably notice changes in the person that they may not even be aware of themselves.

as for your pity party.. who better to have a pity party with than people who are in the same boat themselves? you are definitely worthy.. of all that.. and more.

you are going to have a "great life". and once you're in your own space, you'll be able to continue to find yourself. when you're happy and at peace with yourself, people can't help but notice (at least that's what i'm telling myself!). lol.

(((( ))))
