I'm sorry you're hurting and hope you are feeling better. People told me a lot when I first came here....baby steps, baby steps....although this step seems more like a good adult-sized step in the right direction, keep doing those things for yourself, keep moving forward. Even though you might not see the progress every day, those steps add up. Don't forget those reasons you have for doing what you're doing, but also try to focus on the positive things you are doing for yourself & your children and the reasons you will be better off for it in the long run.

I had my therapy appt. this morning, it went good and I was feeling pretty strong, but for some reason in the last hour or so I'm just feeling so empty and sad, desperately wanting to talk to him, I miss him, or the old him.

I was thinking about this part and it made me think of a flood. In a flood, to survive, you'd want to hold onto something strong, something that would not fold or buckle and let you drown. You'd want to find a tall & strong tree instead of a flimsy one to save you. It's kind of like your brain and your feelings. Your brain knows the right thing to do - it is logical and a more suitable choice. Feelings, on the other hand, are good for some things, but they are not always the best choice to "hold" onto when making important life decisions, they sway and change. So, hold onto those choices you know are better for you, even though they hurt sometimes.
