Little-great to hear that you are on the upswing - sounds like you are anyway.
Sometimes just getting through is the best we can do.
Great positive thoughts up there - it will get better smile

I feel like as long as I avoid any mention of BF I'm fine. I don't listen to the radio (too many sappy love songs), I'm blocking all our mutual friends on Facebook for now (too much potential to run into things I really don't want to see -- like those pics last night), I stay out of the town we used to live in (I don't want to run into either he or OW, never mind together).....

For now I'm trying to forget he exists. He's certainly forgotten I exist, so maybe he's on to something.

Thanks be to God for everything I have and am forgetting as my misery makes me selfish and forgetful. :P


Boy, don't I understand this. I feel I'm loosing the battle some days. There are certainly people that have it far worse than me.

I wish I could just sit in the room with you for 15 minutes and soak up some of your energy.

AW, that's sweet of you to say. Trust me, I'm not as "together" as I sound. I spent most of last night sobbing over those damned pics. I look extremely tired today and despite passing out cold at like 9:30pm, I feel like I could sleep for a week.

Never have been fond of rollercoasters. :P

The fact that you can say that^^^ tells me you are more together than you think.

Me, I fight the urge to drive my truck into a bridge support most every day. Not that I would do something silly like that and leave my kids all alone. Besides, I don't like pain all that much and I just spent waaayyy too much money putting that stupid truck back together. But the feeling is there.

I would be a wreck if I found pictures like that.

Oh, wait. I'm already a wreck, lol.

Little - You are faking together pretty well in my opinion.

Jefe - I get this - have these feelings too. (keep it together)

I definitely know how you feel. There have been days where I wished a hole would open up in the Earth and take me down. I don't call it "suicidal" because I'd never do harm to myself; but if I could be put down like a cat or go to sleep and never wake up, I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat. I've prayed and begged for it.

Believe it or not, it's normal. It's a response to more stress and emotion than you have coping ability at the moment. The trick is to find the coping ability and the methods that make this sort of thing lessen. That's why we come here and read DB books.

This site (and exploring my spirituality in Buddhism) has been so invaluable to me pulling myself out of the hole -- even if it's just to come and vent and sound like an idiot while I work through my chit. LOL

Thanks. People at work say so, too. I've been told more than once that I have "no negativity" and I'm so "sassy and bubbly" and while that's certainly true of my core personality, I'm SO FAKING IT these days. LOL

normal - I hope - I thought I was alone. I feel like if I ever told anyone about these thoughts, I would be locked up.

Thanks
