I get very anxious SparkleKitty when I don't talk to him. This is crazy. Is this how addicts feel when they are unable to get to their drug of choice??
I am doing everything - staying busy with friends/family, reaching out for support, seeing a therapist, researching codependency but every time I fight the urge to talk to him, I get super exhausted, anxious, sad, depressed. I was never like this before. This does not mean that I will cave in. I will keep trying and fight harder.
