I Think I'm Trying Too Hard
Hi,
I want to thank everyone for your support and advice.
I know I didn't the right thing, my situation would have gotten worse, only a matter of time.
I just have all these feelings flooding my brain. Not sure what to do with them all.
I had a plan for the rest of my life, and now it's changed.
I need to focus now on my new life, letting go of the past, and moving forward . My daughter said to me " you are lucky, you will be starting a new adventure."
I need to start forgiving myself for the choices I made.
I will focus on the divorce.
I will know tommorrow, see MD, if I'm going to need surgery.
It is still so painful. Hopefully, it will take care of itself.
I have a lot of healing and self reflection to do.
Funny though, the only 2 relatives my ah has, other than his sister and mom in a nursing home, calls me 1x a week, to see if I'm ok.
Again, thanks for listening.
I'm just trying to hard to be ok, when it's a process, and only as time passes will I be ok.

Just remember that feelings aren't facts. It's normal to feel out of sorts and overwhelmed at times, at this point in your recovery with all the changes going on.
And just because you're feeling it right now doesn't mean this is how your life is going to feel from now on. Do nice things for yourself, even if it doesn't feel like it matters. If you can, splurge on one or two nice things for your new apartment. Doesn't have to be anything big--a print that you buy online, a new bed covering, little touches that make if feel like YOUR space. Try taking yourself out on a "date"--I found a couple of coffee shops that have local musicians that play.
Little by little you will find yourself feeling better.
Hugs!
