Thanks to everyone for all of your wonderful words of encouragement and advice. My goal is to one day look back on this and see just how far I have come. I have been seeing a counselor but I am not sure just how much it is helping. I think I am just expecting too much too soon. Talking seems to help and I really appreciate all of you for taking the time to respond to my message. It is a really big help since there are no support groups in my area. THANKS!!!😊
Journal everything , just writing it down how you are feeling is very cathartic, it gets a lot of the anger and sadness out, I know I am getting better because I used to write in mine religiously everyday , can go 2 weeks now and not write anything, plus when you read it back from the beginning you can see the changes in your moods and how you are feeling. I am on my 3rd one now, 240 pages in each journal, and I started mine in October last year , once my divorce comes through and I have moved from the family home as having to sell , I will ceremoniously burn them. Another reason I know I am getting better is that there are not so many swear words , at the beginning it was literally every other word.
Thank you so much. I have been writing things down; but sometimes I feel like crying more when I journal butI guess it’s a way of getting all of those feelings and emotions out. It does help. Thanks again!!!
