Day Three - Got Through It!!
 
Day three - got through it with no contact - took my little guy mini golfing then out to lunch and out for ice cream - have to admit my mind did wander a bit (quite a bit) BUT i made no contact! Tried taking your advice and kept busy - its about 10PM right now and i'm feeling really anxious - is this normal? I'm also on edge so i'm thinking of going upstairs so i won't snap at anyone for no reason - i hate feeling this way - i want it to stop - any ideas or do i just have to suck it up and stick it out?

It sounds like your doing well, good for you for taking some positive action to get through this.

When I feel edgy and overwhelmed, the only think that helps me is to say a prayer and turn it all over to my higher power. It takes a load off at the end of a long day and lets me sleep like a baby.

Hugs

Good!! you are being strong. Yes, anxious feelings are normal, just take a breath and accept the feeling then let it go.
Keep on keepin' on!!!
